First Homegrown Salad of the Season

A mixture of baby lettuces, arugula, pak choi, kale, and mizuna. Yum!

Homemade Pizza with Garlic Scapes and Cooked Greens

I was really happy to find garlic scapes at the farmer's market. I've never tried them before and the garlic I grow is the wrong kind for producing scapes.

I decided to make a vegetarian pizza with cooked greens from my garden (including arugula, chard, kale, and spinach) and sauteed garlic scapes from the farmer's market.

I was never fed cooked greens as a kid because my parents hated them, but I think they're great (especially when sauteed with garlic).

While not super attractive, the pizza was garlicky, semi-healthy (as far as pizza toppings go) and very delicious.

Salad Garden Taking Shape

I'm starting to actually see some defined rows in my bed of salad greens. Germination looks like it was a little patchy, but I think the survivors will fill out nicely.

Top to bottom (not that you can distinguish the rows from this far away): Green Heart daikon radish, radish mix, mizuna, arugula, lettuce, weeds, lettuce, more lettuce.

Arugula always grows great for me. It germinates fast and is of harvestable size in no time. 

I'm not sure why all the lettuce in this row decided to germinate in one spot.
