It's time to clean up the hoophouse beds for this summer's tomato crop and because I didn't grow any winter/early spring greens in the hoophouse this year, I ignored the beds (too busy with pea shoot and sunflower shoot greens production in the glass greenhouse).....'til now. Sadly, the hoophouse beds have been growing weeds. And some volunteer lettuce plants from last years sowing too! One of the simple joys of gardening: volunteer food plants that take care of themselves completely! So of course, before tilling, I pulled the lovely lettuce plants and took them to the kitchen. They look beautiful stuck in a wide mouth mason and since they still have their roots, they stay very fresh there too.

After I was finally finished admiring it's beauty and appreciating the gift of no-work homegrown lettuce, we ate it all up in a big salad for dinner, mixed with pea and sun shoot greens, of course!
