May 11, 2011 - Keeping it in Perspective
Normally I wouldn't blog about this until "Harvest Monday", but as I was looking at the giant basket of lettuce I picked this morning, then photographing it, I thought to myself what's to show my readers this is not a tiny basket of teeny-tiny leaves?

How Wonderful! Looks refreshing too!!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
ReplyDeleteWOW! That IS some big lettuce!!! I'd love to have lettuce harvests that looked like that! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of my huge spinach. I have no clue where the huge leaves came from but I'm happy about it. My lettuce though is much smaller.
ReplyDeleteIf I was to bring mine in at this point, it would be a tiny basket. Your lettuce makes me hungry!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice for me to find a new blog written by someone as obviously obsessed with veg-growing as I am! Flowers are OK, but veg are better...
ReplyDeleteYou're by far the BESTEST salad gardener on earth! Mr. Granny is one lucky guy!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems your weather is helping to produce some BIG lettuce.
ReplyDeleteThat lettuce looks so good I can almost taste it.
ReplyDeletecrying. i am just crying.
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show that sometimes bigger IS better - goodness gracious, great basket of lettuce!
ReplyDeleteWow looking just great. Would love that lettuce for the dinner I haven't had yet.
ReplyDeleteI guess all the mild weather has it's benifits!
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone...Allison, Erin, Megan, Langela, Katrina, Debbie. I hope I didn't miss anyone.

Daphne, my spinach leaves are actually smaller this year, while my lettuce is larger. Go figure.
********
Mark Willis, yes, I'd say obsessed is the word :-)
********
Sue, Mr. Granny likes grocery store iceberg lettuce. Mr. Granny's not as smart as he likes to think he is.
********
Rachel, it was 81 degrees here today! Luckily, it was also cloudy.
********
Donna, don't be sad. Here....have a bite.
********
Wilderness, I'm just getting ready to eat my dinner, I'll take a couple of bites for you!
********
Villager, I hate cleaning tiny leaves, I like 'em big!
Heather, that and the new location for the lettuce bed, which gets afternoon shade. It remains to be seen if I can meet or beat last year's 42 pound lettuce harvest.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I am jealous! I am buying lettuce from the store currently, and I just can't help but going out and trying to give my lettuce seedlings a pep talk so I can stop spending all that money.
ReplyDeleteI bet just one of those leaves would be a whole meal for me!
Prairie Cat, our pet rabbit eats a big container of baby lettuces every week, at about $5-7! Growing it, and having it fresh from the garden for him, is not only a real treat but a real money saver.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous lettuce harvest! Mr. Granny has no idea what he is missing.
ReplyDeleteKitsap, he ate it after I drenched it in balsamic vinegar and oil. He didn't even complain. Of course, I told him he had to eat his veggies before he could dig into the spice cake I'd baked today ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm totally jealous Granny! I want to be your bunnies for a day to get a taste of the yummy looking lettuces!
ReplyDeleteCharmcity, I only have one (very spoiled) bunny, and he'll bite your face off if you touch his lettuce! However, you can just come and visit me for a day and I'll feed you a BIG salad of your own!!!
ReplyDeleteJust a few small leaves there Granny, lol.
ReplyDeleteYa, Kelly, I think we'll be going into salad overload soon!
ReplyDeletebetter post your address & buy a big picnic table.
ReplyDeleteDonna, maybe buy another rabbit? Or I could take off the netting and let the birds have a feast.
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous basket of greens!! Happy Harvest!
