Plucking Radishes and Lettuce Thinnings

Pulling those little radishes out of the pot was really a lot of fun and very satisfying.  I enjoyed it tremendously and can't wait to do it again!  

I finally got around to thinning my Little Gem lettuce, and the thinnings provided a nice amount of lettuce for dinner.  Then I transplanted a bunch into the front yard garden bed, which has become my overflow vegetable plot.

45 Salads/Thinning Lettuce in a Container

My Buttercrunch lettuce was getting crowded so I thinned it to about 5 inches apart like the seed packet suggested.

Unfortunately, this didn't leave me very much lettuce.  I could only fit eight little seedlings in my container.  I hated to harvest the little ones this early so I looked around my yard for some space.  And there was room right by the front steps.  Lots of room - enough for 37 seedlings!  This means that we will soon be eating 45 salads.
