Lett-uce make some salad.

May 27, 2014 · Filed under Uncategorized


Finally all that hard work in the garden has paid off with the freshest salad you have ever had (…cue hip hop DJ sample- “FRRRRRRRRESH”).

We harvested 6 kinds of lettuce that have been growing amazingly well. With only a few weeks left of school, we here at the garden are trying to create the most delicious send off possible- by eating and harvesting till the end of June.

We got all thumbs up on this salad right here. We added a bit of fennel, kale, and a light vinaigrette to ensure absolute delight & satisfaction.

It was a rip roaring week of intense sun, random hose cool downs, straw mulching, and even some planting.

We mulched baby onions w/ straw to save them from this amazing heat. Helping out, was our UW volunteer Jamee from the fabulous Pipeline program that connects college students w/ volunteering in local organizations doing sustainability work. She got right down in it.

And w/ the kindergarteners, we opened a coconut that a student’s parent mailed from the US Virgin Islands?!? It’s not quite so easy, but we eventually cracked it and celebrated a little.
