Our First Harvest

Remember my post a week before that there's life in our garden? Well, it's already harvest time!

At least for our lettuce. We wont need to buy lettuce for a long time as we have enough in our green house. In fact, they are ready for the harvest and we've already created fresh green salad out of them. And to be frank, I was never a green eater but when you taste our lettuce; you would know why I became a convert -- real crispy and fresh and simply more green :D

Harvested and ready to be cleaned for the salad

Here are more of them thriving in our green house

As for the strawberries, they are also coming. I would say another week. The tomatoes we need to wait a little longer. My husband had to give away most of them as he said we wont have enough space in the green house. You see, it is still too cold to be planting outside. He doesnt want to take the risk.

Here's our strawberry patch.

And look closely, the strawberries are coming!

As for the cucumber, sadly, it is taking a long time. The corns arent really there. The melon we hardly see. But the dill and the parsley we've already used most of them.

It is amazing watching the garden with growing things. And the benefits we get.
