Lettuce: I planted some seeds and they have sprouted up! Look at me, I'm becoming a horticulturist. Haha. I have never seen lettuce growing (or strawberries) and they are funny. They kinda look like a mix between weeds, clovers, or funny grass. According to the seed pack, I'm suppose to thin them out, but I'm gonna wait a couple more days before doing that. I do hope I can keep the lettuce alive. I love salads, and I think it will be cool to eat lettuce that I grew! (I also love cheese...should I buy a cow?...nah.)
Tomatoes: I don't eat tomatoes, but I am growing a couple. Go figure. Although, I don'tlike tomatoes... I LOVE salsa! (I know, I know, it's the same thing, but it's not.) I don't like
chunky salsa at all. I prefer mine pureed. (Look at me using cooking language.) So, I have
decided to try to make my own salsa. I don't know exactly how this is going to turn out, but
we shall see. If you know of a good recipe for pureed salsa (aka not chunky), send them to
me! I guess I don't need them right now, but maybe in a few weeks I will. I'm also growing my
tomatoes in a Topsy Turvy Container. I think I just like the name Topsy Turvy.

ReplyDeleteRandayandTara--Hahaha. I didn't even think of that! I'm giving Carl a run for his money.

How fun! Lettuce is very gratifying because it's quick and easy. You'll love it.
ReplyDeleteLet me know how the topsy turvy planter goes. I thought it looked cool but didn't want to spend money if i didn't know if it would really work or not. Hope your tomatoes turn out well!
ReplyDeleteAmber--I will def let you know how well they work. I also planted a couple in a regular planter just to see if one does better than the other. Hope you and Paul and Ethan are doing great! I love it when you upload pics. The newest one with him and the teddy bear is good.
