Keeping it local...like in my backyard.

Spring fever hit me early this year with South Carolina experiencing a short winter. When February rolled in, I was rolling up my sleeves eager to get my hands in the dirt and start planting a backyard garden. Some of my first additons were an assortment of lettuces, early girl tomatoes, strawberries, and cabbage.  I am trying my hand at organic home gardening and I'm loving the fruits of my labor.  Below are some butter crunch and mescalin blend varieties of the lettuce I grew in a salad we had for dinner with some garlic feta cheese and Greek vinaigrette.  It was very yummy and my 9 year old son loves it too.  I can't wait to show you what other yummy creations come out of our garden very soon.
