Today I picked out some of the greens that we have in the large garden, because temperature outside supposed to get into mid-80's and I don't want them turn too bitter. I didn't cut all lettuces, just took some leaves out. I also thinned out some of the self seeded baby lettuces to give more space to others. Then I snipped few herbs like parsley, oregano, dill and thyme and few springs of chocolate mint for my coworker. Afterwards, in the small garden I picked some arugula, mustards and few leaves of kale. 
I probably should have done the same thing today. My lettuce is out in the heat. I hope it doesn't get too hot and make them all bitter. It would be so sad. I keep trying to get my successions going, but the last one I planted keeps getting mowed down by the cutworms.
ReplyDeleteI still have lots of self-seeded that are going to be my replacements. I did cover them with agribon to keep it cooler and gave them plenty to drink last night, so hope it won't be too bad.
DeleteLots of good looking greens there! I love chocolate mint too. I'm having some ice green tea infused with it as I type.
ReplyDeleteI love smell of chocolate mint and it's a bit softer than spearmint so i do use it in tea as well :) I also love to put few sprigs into bath instead of chemicals :)
DeleteBeautiful greens & herbs! I haven't even seeded my dill yet - I better get a move on.
ReplyDeleteI'll be seeding more of it soon again to make sure it's ready for new potatoes
DeleteNice harvest! Your greens look great. I never feel like I grow enough each year. I've never heard of chocolate mint. Must google.
ReplyDeleteThank you, many of these self seeded but I'm not complaining. You should try it, its very nice and mild
DeleteI love chocolate mint too! I haven't planted any since I moved last year, but now I really want some. All your greens look lovely.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll plant some too, it's very refreshing in tea :)
