Late winter garden here in southern California has been beautiful for us. So blessed indeed. The raised beds of lettuce, other greens and herbs have done a fantastic job. The main seed mixes I have use this year are the "sassy salad" mesclun mix and "Gourmet Baby" greens mix, both from Botanical Interests.
Yes, I do add cilantro and a few nasturtium and pansy flowers into my salad.
This bed here, I have some leeks (still in the baby stages), lettuce mix, carrots, larkspurs (I thought I lost them), Nero Kale and pansies.
These beauties are from the seed packed called "carnival blend, Botanical Interests seeds. I do not have great success growing carrots, but I keep trying and what ever I get is good enough to me.
This is what the red carrot looks on the inside. So pretty.
Again, I love growing the mixes. You get so many beautiful colors, shapes, textures and flavors. I will be sad to see the season end for growing lettuce, but I will start sowing them again in September.
Nasturtium in a large container along with some scallions that just sprouted and a cilantro plant.
Early in the morning I uncover the beds to get the nice early morning sun. But once the sun becomes to intense I will cover them. The covers also protect the tender greens at night from other pests.
Thank you for your visit and hope to post soon.
Have a wonderful day!
