My First Home Grown Salad



Finally, two bowls of something that I have grown!
When I lived in California, I used to grow all kinds of things organically in my garden. When I was hungry I could step outside and picks scores of types of lettuce, fresh eggplant, onions, chive and garlic, tomatoes and zucchini. And within a half an hour I had a steaming bowl of ratatouille surrounded by a fresh salad of mixed greens. It was amazing!
So it was a joy today to step outside armed with a nail scissors and pick a large bowl of arugula and a couple of types of baby lettuce. It always tastes better when you grew it yourself.
