I started our raised bed gardens about a month or so ago. I took a risk and planted things outside before the last frost, and so far, everything has survived! I get anxious to plant things once the weather turns warm- even if it is only March or April. Anyways, today I worked in the beds and planted a new zucchini plant. I decided to pick some of the lettuce, thinking I would only get a few pieces. I ended up with about 2o or 25! The pea pods just started to poke out a few days ago. I guess 4 will be enough for today! I picked up the little metal platter at the thrift store last summer for a quarter. Its the perfect size to use to gather the slim pickings from the garden.
