Eating my first salads

Nothing like fresh lettuce. The leaves are so tender. I'm also picking the first cherry tomatoes.

A look at my container gardens

The first container contains a row of lettuce, a row of spinach, and a row of cilantro. They were all started from seed, and have their first true leaves now. I'll be thinning the lettuce soon, and learned from class, it can be eaten as a microgreen.

The second container has rosemary in the middle, arugula in the front, basil on the sides, and cilantro in the back. I bought all the plants as starts. I've already enjoyed arugula in my salad, basil on my pizza, and rosemary with roasted potatoes and carrots.

The third container contains tomatoes with nasturtium planted around the borders. The tomatoes were started from seed in September. The nasturtium seeds were added in January.

Cold weather!

Last week we had our second cold snap of the season, with the weather going down into the low 30's. I covered my veggies with sheets, and everything survived quite well. This is the first I've been in Florida when the weather has been so cool.
