We ate our first garden salad of the season this evening - unusually early in Minnesota without cold frames or a greenhouse. But hey, we'll take it! Complete with different varieties of lettuce and spicy little radishes. Deluxe.
Incidentally, we also finished off our last squash from last season: butternut. What a keeper! The rest of our squashes - sunshine, buttercup, other butternuts - are long-gone. And some of the sunshines and buttercups were slightly moldy by the time we got to them mid-winter.
Butternuts are evidently superior keepers. Note to self.
brilliant! sans cold frames (maybe next year) we are nibbling on little lettuce leaves, but not nearly enough for a salad. we did, however, have parsley, kale, oregano, sage and thyme make it thru the winter and have been using those herbs.
ReplyDeletei cannot believe your squash made it this long!!! ahh, blissful root cellar!
