Chapter 16 - Salad!

It's been a long time since my last post, but things in the garden have been progressing very nicely! I'm happy to report that nearly everything (with the possible exception of Luigi) is doing very well. Some hot weather two weeks ago helped a lot, and the kale and lettuce are huge. Not to mention the epazote...I have too much epazote and I don't even know what to do with it, so if you want any, let me know!

So anyhow, this past Monday, after coming back from a long weekend in Big Sur, I picked some lettuce from the garden and made my first salad - also threw in some fresh Bing cherries from Monterrey, some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, shaved Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. It was really really excellent.

There have been some other great developments, and there's more to report on, but I'll save that for another chapter when I have more time. Here are some more recent pictures of the garden, as well as pictures of my salad!
