As it turned out, there were plenty of baby greens for each of us to have a salad. We had forgotten just how good those fresh lettuce and spinach leaves tasted. The radishes were mild, and the onions had a bit of bite, just as they should.The winter boredome will be broken for a day this week, too. Wednesday I'll be heading for Mexico on my drug run. LOL, prescription drugs, that is. I need my synthroid fix, and my friend Marge will be getting a root canal. I also sent an email to my dentist, hoping I can get an appointment on such short notice.
Glorious, glorious weather here this past week. Records are being broken, with temperatures in the high 70s and expected to go over 80F today. We'll enjoy it while we can, as it's supposed to begin cooling off again next week. We've only had one week of miserable, cold, windy weather since we got here in October. By January, temperatures begin climbing again, so it might be a "short" winter this year. That wouldn't hurt my feelings a bit!
Good to see you posting, Granny! Has it really been almost two months since you drove down there? It doesn't seem that long.
ReplyDeleteYour greens and radishes look yummy. Hope you get your drug fix, lol.
Good that you're having glorious weather there, you haven't missed anything good here in Washington. A Pineapple Express just blew through. I don't know what it did in eastern WA, but here we have lots of flooding rivers. I heard some areas got 6 inches of rain in 36 hours.
Hurrah for the first harvest from the Arizona garden! Be careful on your trip south of the border - it seems to me I recall that your last trip was full of some adventure or should I say misadventures! :D
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the first harvest. Looks very spring like :-) Your weather sounds nice! It is 12f here tonight, feels like -2f with the wind chill. Thankfully it is only this cold for a few days.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great salad. Thanks for reminding me about radishes - I'll be popping them in my salad tonight. Enjoy the warmth in Mexico (strangely, we are envious of cool weather here in Sydney - it is humid +). Happy Xmas.
ReplyDeleteI do so love my snow, but oh, the greens-the beautiful beautiful greens. I'm sure they were yummy..........
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice harvest Granny! I am sure that you enjoyed every bite of your salad. I almost forget what fresh geens taste like :(
ReplyDeleteBe careful on your trip to Mexico..I don't want to read about you in the news :)
the annual drug run! "Granny get your gun"! Seriously, I hope this trip is stress free this year!
ReplyDeleteNice harvest Granny, have a great trip across the border!!
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteYour harvest looks wonderful. Always amazes me wht you can get out of such a small space. Looking Good, Granny!
She's back! How very nice to see your first harvest. Hope you enjoy your drug run into Mexico...you are too funny.:)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty harvest. Though I really can't wait to see you in your real garden again and with internet. I've missed you.
ReplyDeleteLooking good, not matter the amount. Enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteOh, urgh, Arizona weather. Enjoy your drug run!
ReplyDeleteNice looking greens, and the roots on those onions look so healthy.
Hi Annie,
ReplyDeleteWow your harvest look healthy and delicious. It was my first time to see that, what kind of plant is that?
