Built my first raised bed garden with some free red bricks I got! It’s a small setup, but perfect for growing fresh salad greens and celery. Excited to see how it does this season! Who else loves upcycling materials for their garden?

I sow new #lettuce & #SaladGreens seeds every 2 weeks. That's how I get year round supply of #homegrown salad greens. I grow most of them in greenhouse during Winter - in pots.
More #SaladGreens have sprouted in my seedling trays. I sow new seeds every 2 weeks to ensure we have ongoing greens to eat, year round. I grow some foods, through Fall & Winter. These are #endives & assorted #lettuce #plants.
Front yard, volunteer buttercrunch #lettuce is doing well. It grew itself from crevice beside our front walkway. Waiting for it to grow larger before harvesting.
Purple #kale & #sorrel - plant these once, you'll have both growing as long as you keep harvesting & don't let them bolt. Let them bolt, if you're wanting to collect seeds to sow in different spots.
I #harvested some #food from our front gardens:
#sorrel
#Shiso
#ThaiBasil
#Arugula
For part of Mom's #salad eats. She's picking some of the mixed lettuces from backyard food gardens to add to it.
I have 3 pots of #sorrel #SaladGreens. This is one of them. I started all 3 pots, last June. We've been harvesting from same pots - all through last year to now. They keep coming up, after every harvest. I love eating sorrel - raw or cooked! One of my fave greens to eat.
Our #FoodGarden is coming along well, after a slow season start.
The salad green with that nutty and peppery zing! Arugula is a cool-season edible plant that grows best when planted in the early spring and late summer into fall. Pick a location for them in full sun to part-shade...
