A Typical Lettuce Harvest

Here's an example of a lettuce harvest about four weeks after we planted our seedlings. I haven't really tracked our harvests (I'm going to try and take a picture of every harvest going forward), but I'd estimate we've pulled this much lettuce out of the garden 6-8 times since we planted it. We simply cut a few leaves from the outside of every plant. Because we have 16 total lettuce plants, a few leaves from each plant easily yields enough for two large salads. (We did lose one lettuce plant in the last week. I think it got crowded out.)

Salads for dinner!
