We had our first salad with some of our home grown lettuce, the romaine. It only augmented the lettuce we had purchased at the Berkeley Bowl, but still...very exciting!! We swore it tasted different from the other leaves..:) And truthfully, we have used herbs from the deck garden in some meals (thyme, rosemary and parsley). But this first salad was a thrill!
The cherry tree is leaving very well, so I watered it last night for the first time since planting (not including mother nature's rain last week). I am so excited to watch it over the years; it still has blossoms, but they are getting sparce.
Finally for today, the fava beans are sprouting strongly (see pic next to salad) and should be bolting well in the next two weeks. I planted those a little late (no choice with the bed building schedule) so if we don't get a good harvest this year, I will for sure sow them outdoors much earlier next cool season.
