Because I didn't grow up with gardening parents or really any exposure to farming, I was truly amazed last spring when I planted lettuce and spinach seeds and they turned into - gasp!- lettuce and spinach! There is something about seeds that has me convinced I will put them in the ground and nothing will happen.
I had never eaten garden fresh lettuce. It was incredible, so delicious and delicate that I even ate salad for breakfast. All winter long I've been dutifully choking down salads, made with store bought lettuce, dreaming about the day when I look at my little tiny seedlings and see salad in my future. Lots and lots of salad....
Since last year I had no faith in my ability to grow things, I didn't plant much lettuce or spinach as I suppose I didn't want to be disappointed. But this year....expansion! And a good plan to sow a new row every couple of weeks.
