Summer Salads

I have a lettuce problem.  Which is to say, I once again planted too much lettuce all at the same time and thus am overflowing in lettuce bounty.  This year, the lettuce is Mesclun mix and "Flashy-back Trout" romaine from Territorial Seed Co.  I will donate some lettuce to one of my favorite non-profits, Backyard Harvest, which I will write more about in an upcoming blog post.  But for now, we are going to be eating a lot of salads.  Tonight will be a Greek-type salad with Kalamata olives, locally made feta (from Brush Creek Creamery), and dried cranberries.  In addition, I'll top it off with "secret salmon" from the Fish Folks.  Secret salmon are little chunks of salmon cut off from the ends of filets.  It's a deal and it tastes great!

Tomatoes are looking good!

My lettuce runneth over.  Beans are still climbing though.

Potatoes look good.  Basil, not so much.

Lettuce harvest!
