Well the lettuce harvest is lightening up again as some patches are turning bitter and preparing to bolt, while the newer patches are not quite up to speed yet. I need to figure out how to get a steadier supply going and not wait so long between plantings, especially now that the weather is warming up I don't expect a planting will give me as many cuts as when it was cooler. And soon it will be too hot and the seeds won't even sprout.

I finally found my calculator and tallied up March's harvests; 25.56 pounds of produce worth over $60. I don't have an exact $ amount yet as there are a couple of prices I need to check on first. I finally got my taxes finished so now I can maybe finish cleaning off my desk and finding my garden receipts so I can catch up my expense page.
yumm! Love your radishes and edible flowers and just look at those peas! mine are only couple of inches tall so no harvest anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful peas! I don't know what I'm going to do about lettuce this year either. It's going to get hot real fast. Maybe start them in pots every few weeks? That's so much work though.
ReplyDeleteI have been harvesting oranges and grapefruit during my Florida stay and juicing them on the spot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful peas, mine is only about 1 inch tall. Stir-fry the mature lettuce leaves, takes away the bitter taste and gives it a sweet crunchy taste.
ReplyDeleteI haven't got the timing right for growing peas, it seems I'm always late in starting the seeds.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I generally sow mixed lettuce seed in summer as that way theres always something that will germinate and I don't have to try and keep track of exactly which varieties do beat when. It does waste seed but I do struggle to keep track of all the different varieties I grow.
ReplyDeleteOh lovely peas, I'm like Mac never seem to get my timing right but last spring i was determined to grow some and finally was successful! I usually let a couple of lettuce go to seed and seem to always have little seedlings popping up in all sorts of places........then i transplant them where i want them.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of harvest... I have yet to calculate our harvest the way you do... good practice, I must add...
ReplyDeleteLots of good snack there!
