Thursday I picked the loose leaf lettuce and Elaine and I had a fresh green salad for supper. It was really good, but not as good as what I picked on Friday. On Friday I cut my beet greens, cooked them with some linguine, then I coated them with a mixture of some butter, extra virgin olive oil, a few drops of balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and grated cheese. My stomach is still thanking me this morning. It tasted that good. I like patting myself on the back sometimes, but I always enjoy a good meal(that's probably why I weigh as much as I do).
I still have more plants to put in the garden but I will wait till after this heat and humidity pass. I lost about a dozen plants this week due to the weather so I'll just wait a few days. I have the plants outside so they can adjust, I just don't have them in the direct sunlight constantly like they get in my garden.
Next week will be hard to get much done in the garden with the holiday on Monday and Elaine having surgery on Friday morning. If all goes well, she won't have to stay in the hospital but only time will tell.
