After culling and washing, we harvested exactly 1 pound of baby salad greens. It was a combination of Black Seeded Simpson, Buttercrunch, and Prizehead. The Black Seeded Simpson and Prizehead were the more prolific of the 3 varieties. They were direct sown in late November. If you look closely at the front of the cold frame you can see a light in the bed. We've been running it for 3 hours in the morning before just before sunrise. We also lay heavy rubber mats over the frames at night time to insulate the beds.
Belle made that great greek salad (pictured) out of it this weekend. She's visiting her family now in Washington, while I stay home with the boys. Hmmmm? I'm looking at the rest of the greens, and the best I can come up with is a little grated cheese and oil. I know the boys will be glad to see mama when mom gets home next week!
