The lettuce is exploding.

Really, there is no other way to put it.(For reference, it's easily twice as big as the last pics of it in my last garden picture post.) I bought some romaine at the store to make some salad for tonight, and though I'd 'supplement' with some of our lettuce from our container garden. I clipped off a few of the lower leaves. Didn't make much of a dent in the lettuce heads. But after I washed and ripped it into the bowl, it filled half of a huge popcorn bowl. Wow! At this rate, I'm hoping we can have 1-2 salads a week from our lettuce! The spinach is also suddenly huge. We have been having hot weather, finally, so that's probably why. Although nothing else is growing quite so fast, not even the radishes!

Today I dressed Ryleigh, my 2 year old, in a cute little top I crocheted for her. I meant to get pictures to post on here, but wouldn't you know it, before I could she got all wet from our little blow-up pool. She wasn't in it, but was leaning on the side to fill up a little container, that she then proceeded to water plants with. LOL, she's been watching me I guess. My little gardener.

I'm totally LOL'ing here.

My last post, I had started as a draft. On May 19. I erased it all, and re-wrote a new one last night, but when I published it, the date still says May 19! LOL. I have NO idea how to change it. Oh well! I find blogger to make things very difficult to format things the way I like it. I'm having picture problems as well.

BTW - Nice warm day today! Noticed flower buds on the pepper plant! woohoo!!

I know, warm is a relative term. 23 Celcius or 74 Farenheit is what it is at the moment. That's probably 'cool' to some of you. Especially since our humidity is only at 23%. But after a long winter, it's nice and warm to me. Now if only our night temps would stop dropping so close to freezing.......
