I harvested my first bunch of lettuce. I am seriously more thrilled than I’d ever have believed. It doesn’t seem all that long ago I planted everything in giant pots and suddenly, just a few weeks later, the lettuce seems to have quadrupled in size. (Below is a before and after shot.)

I left roughly 1/3 of the lettuce plant so it can continue to grow again. As silly as it seems, I am on a cloud right now over something as simple as growing my own lettuce. Something tells me I am going to enjoy the best salad of my life tonight.
