My First Crop.....

......of LETTUCE!!!  About two months ago a friend from work gave me a package of mesclun lettuce seeds.  I planted them and within two days, they were sprouting!  Dan had to work late last night and when he got home, he reminded me that we were supposed to have a hard freeze.  So, at about 11pm, Dan was holding the flashlight and I was snipping off my first crop!  It as so exciting!  I brought those precious leaves in and carefully washed and dried them!  Guess what I had for lunch today??  It was the best salad I've had in a long time! Absolutely NO chemicals or pesticides!  YUM!
