First harvest

The Bee’s Square Foot Garden is already producing cool weather crops.

Radishes are ready, as well as red and green lettuce, arugula and endive. I couldn't resist adding a few marigold flowers for a festive touch for this photograph.

When I started picking lettuce leaves it didn’t seem like much at first. Then suddenly I realized I had enough for salad for two.

Amazing.
