Winter in Georgia

Okay, this is Michelle blogging so be patient. I took these pix today in the kitchen garden. This is why we live in the South. I'm not kidding when I say it is 70 degrees out today.

 I planted this lettuce by seed last fall. It came in a mesculin mix. I'm not sure what kind this one is, but isn't it beautiful? All other lettuces in this mix have died out.

 This lettuce I also planted from seed last fall. It's called "red sails."

 A freshly picked basket of red sails lettuce.

 I soak the lettuce in cold water to clean off the dirt, etc.

The lettuce is washed, spun dry and ready for my salad. Now back outside to prune the roses--but first I need to change into some shorts!
