Thinnings


A body has to be desperate for fresh greens to consider washing these tiny Tom Thumb lettuces. That's me. Ready for the salad spinner (another fabulous gift from Lissa) are these lettuces and some bigger spinach leaves.

A good rain, actually a deluge, made them easy to pull up. These greens suffered through lots of heat and dusty winds, and are now really glad to have cooler days. Yesterday was the exception, being in the 80's. Like a sundial, we in Missouri only count the pleasant days.

Great news this morning, the Toy Choys are within days of being ready for a stir-fry. Because they do not over-winter like spinach, I will gobble them up.
