First picks

This year, we set up three square foot gardens. Two are 4X4 and one is 3X3. We planted some early seeds about a month ago: spinach, lettuce, carrots, chard and peas. This past Sunday night, we harvested our first baby spinach!!

Grayson has been keeping a close watch on these leaves and was convinced it was time to bring some in. We showed him how to pinch off the leaves, and he went right to work.

I was very excited that we would have such fresh leaves for our green breakfast smoothie the next morning.

    Ohh your garden looks great. I was wondering about doing a raised bed like that, I should have asked when you were here the other day. I am so impressed with your seed growing ability.. I am not capable of that whatsoever!! So, seriously you put spinach in the blender and drink it?
