This year’s first harvest is a bunch of fresh, tender lettuce leaves. And for the record, we should have started harvesting it at least a week ago! In the past, we’ve always tried growing our salad greens from seed, and for whatever reason (soil? sunlight? variety?) we just have not had great luck. So this year we planted starters for everything except our pole beans (with which we’ve always had good luck). As we’ve done for several years, we purchased all of our starters from Hayhurst Valley Organic Farm at the Lane County Farmers Market. We’ve found their plants to be consistently high-quality and reliable, and early in the season they carry a wonderful variety of garden starters.
