Our first green salad!

It was already getting summery by the time our backyard renovation was complete this year, so I didn't have much luck growing greens.

However, the beds are now full of 'em... mustard, radish, flat-leaf parsley, bull's blood beet, kale, chard, garlic.  All appear to be able to survive temps down to 22 degrees F.  I was finally able to make a huge salad out of all the greens.

Those bull's blood beet tops are so pretty!  My favorite "green" so far.

And then, tossed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar....


Mmmmmmm.

It was a pretty zesty salad... like one of those bagged herb salads with all the bland "filler lettuce" removed.  SO GOOD.

Is there anything still surviving in your garden?
