Garden Salad
I ate mostly from my garden tonight and OMG it was soooo good. I traded a neighbor some of my eggs for some grapefruit. I made a salad with my own lettuce, carrots, and beets. I used a grapefruit, some Gorgonzola and I baked some pecans with molasses for the top. It was much better than I ever expected. Next time I will plan ahead and do my pecans different but they were OK in a pinch. I didn’t even need dressing. I just used the grapefruit juice created when I cut it up.
On the planting front, we rented a large cork screw to finish the holes for the trees. All the rose bushes are in. The grapefruit, lemon and a fig tree are all in. If it doesn’t rain again tomorrow I will get 2 or three more in.
On the chicken front, I am having real bad luck receiving live day old chicks.

Hey, that salad sounds yummy! Wish I could grow more of my own veggies but I only have room for my Aerogarden, so lettuce it is! Are you getting as much rain as we are up in the East Bay? Not enough to end the drought, but enough so I don’t feel guilty about not washing the car.
Be well - have fun in the garden!
