The temps are forecasted in the teens, next town over to the west and north. I went out to see what I could get before it was frozen and came back with a couple of handfuls of good stuff. Small but brightly colored Swiss chard, Piracicaba and Parsley.

Here is where it came from.
And here is the self seeded mache (corn salad). I left a few of the plants go this spring, hoping to get a fall crop. These will probably not grow very much until next spring.
I picked this one, less than 2″ accross but I’ll add it to the salad bowl.
And here is a shot of my indoor lettuce. Kicking myself, as I watered them today and then found the test kit in a soggy plastic bag on my door. I’d intended to give them a shot of fertilizer, 24 hours before sending off the sample as a worst case for high nitrogen but I don’t think I can wait much longer to start harvesting the bigger leaves.
