All the colors green!

We took some row covers off of our fall vegetables. I was struck by all the different shades of green in the field. It reminded me of all the greens in

my Prismacolor colored pencil set, from the Apple Green of the Romaine lettuce, to the Grass Green of the Collards, to the nearly Peacock Green of the Dino kale, and the True Green of the arugula and turnips. Then the red cabbage is a purplish-green, the beets and the red-leaf lettuce are green with touches of red. So, the field went from a sea of white (row covers) to a field of intense color in a matter of minutes!

Unfortunately, within hours of this observation, deer made it into the garden and munched down some of the lovely Grass Green Romaine lettuce and red leaf lettuce. We think we have them under control again, but this still means more fencing work in the near future! The diversity of tasks on the farm is one of the things we love about what we do here…never a dull moment for certain.

We had your romaine lettuce for dinner as the bed for our tostadas tonight. The lettuce was heavenly! Thanks!
