We’re harvesting the mesclun mix as well as thinning four other types of lettuce. The arugula, spinach, and turnip seeds went in the ground this weekend.

Anne added some nasturtium blossoms to the baby lettuce for last nights salad. Nasturtiums are easy to grow self-seeding annuals. The edible flowers have a slightly peppery taste and make even the most ordinary salad look and taste special. We dressed ours with Anne’s vinaigrette and a little cracked pepper. It was yummalicious. I sure hope our first frost decides to hold off for a few more months.
