March Harvest and a Greenhouse Update

For my Twenty Wishes 2015 , Number 15 is

Harvest something edible from either the green house or garden 10 months of the year

The winter months are, of course, the trickiest ones! I wrote the goal to challenge myself to use the greenhouse for more than just winter storage.

Harvesting something from a seed that I planted is so very gratifying, especially in mid-March! Check out this lettuce! Isn’t it pretty?! It’s tasty, too!

How do I grow it? Well, Handsome Husband cut a 55 gallon barrel in half and filled it with soil.
