School Garden--Lettuce

We planted a salad bowl lettuce mix and a mesclun mix about 25 days ago during a cold, wet snap.  We just harvested three times the amount pictured in the second photo below. All that from one tiny raised bed! Definitely an easy and satisfying crop to grow.  All the produce was used for our school lunch program.

Lespedeza thunbergii 'Edo Shibori'-- Pink Bush Clover

Beautiful, tiny blooms on a graceful, weeping shrub. Slight scent. Blooming now!

Naranjilla

Solanum quitoense known as fuzzy naranjilla has sweet and sour orange tasting fruit. It is from the Andes. Fun plant to grow as an annual.
