There went March, April, and most of May! I'm already pulling arugula from the garden that's about to bolt, and eating through some lovely lettuce while it's in its prime. Pictured above, arugula, lettuce Landis Winter, lettuce Rouge d'Hiver. The string is for the square-foot flower garden this will eventually be; I planted these cold weather crops while I was waiting patiently for flower planting! I love having my own lettuce for this Asian chicken lettuce wrap, below, ( original recipe here ). We use chicken instead of veal and I definitely skip the cilantro, but it's a great recipe to use some garden goodies - green onions, lettuce, carrots, etc. We used two fresh heads of green lettuce but I couldn't tell them apart once we were making food, and I definitely had a favorite! So I will have to pull another two apart and figure it out. I am thinking of starting more lettuce under a grow light and put them out in a shadier spot...
