December harvest

Yes, I grew a new batch of lettuce, and it's ready to eat! I think that the lettuce prefers the cooler temperatures actually.

So I picked and washed some for this quick lunch yesterday. Thai scallop cakes atop home grown lettuce. Believe it or not, the tomato plant is still slowly ripening tomatoes! So the whole one in the center is from my tomato plant, the cut ones are from the store. And the side-by-side comparison favors the sweet bites of my deck garden. I think I'm really turning sensitive.. I bonded so much with my tomato plant, talking to it every day as I watered that I can't seem to pull it up from the pot. It makes me shudder to think of hurting the plant! And I was intending to plant some broccoli in the pot, we'll see.
