That lettuce I started from seed and transplanted six weeks ago has grown well. We are enjoying salads every evening along with some early radishes. I think it's a pain to wash lettuce, but the salads are so good! They are crisp, sweet, and rich.
We are slowly getting on top of the weeds in the garden. This old cultivator is like a manual roto-tiller. It works remarkably well. Three passes plows up the row. One or two more days and we'll have all the garden done. It rained hard last night, so we'll see if we can get out there today.
The two cups of wheat I sprinkled on the ground last fall has grown to about two feet high. It's such a pretty mass of flowing green in the wind.
After a few times of throwing tall, green grass to the cows while we were weeding, they now are intensely interested in our afternoon activity. They come over to the fence and if grass doesn't come flying, they start mooing at us. It just cracks me up. We were working the garden to a chorus of cows. Then we broke down and picked some grass for them.
