I wanted to share my first garden harvest!
I forgot what a few of the plants were and should have pulled some lettuce a bit sooner, but I’m so proud of this. Each year I add a little bit more to my garden and learn how to take care of (or kill) a new plant. Broccoli and lettuce were this years experiment!
(Also, If any one knows what the bottom left leaf is -I think it’s arugula? 🤨)
