Pop's Salad Garden

   
     
      The errant slug mentioned in a previous post was missing out on a great meal. Usually we find several among spring's tender lettuce leaves. This year Pop took charge of the salad greens (retirement can be inspiring), planting most of them in four large pots, three of which are seen here. Simpson Leaf, Red Sails Leaf and Cos Romaine were direct seeded and one pot was set with Romaine starter plants from a local nursery. All have flourished and we harvest almost daily for salads, sandwiches and dinner plate garnishment. Pop is proud of his produce and feels quite the farmer man these days.
