it's working, people

The grand plan to get green & get my kids to eat more green is really starting to blossom. (insert an annoying smiley face here).

I just harvested the first batch of lettuce from our little patch out back. And my kids kept trying different leaves, speckled & red. And the bright green. Most were spit out, mind you. But I am buoyed by the eagerness with which the sampling was repeated. Of course, William was very theatrical about his discards which cracked his sister up. He also requested some crunchy lettuce. Maybe there's still time to get romaine in, if not there's always next year!
