first salad

I gave the Simpson lettuce a haircut.  I cut half of one of the planters down to about an inch above the soil. I am hoping to have successive harvests and by watching the calendar I should be able to know how quickly it grows back. 

So here is the newly trimmed Simpson lettuce.

And here is the salad that i made from some of the harvested lettuce.

Bowl of lettuce, salad with carrot, hard cooked egg and cucumber with homemade Balsamic vinaigrette.

Another shot of the salad.

When some of our other lettuces are a little bigger this will be part of a mixed greens salad.
