Lettuce picked today
Picking lettuce from the Growing Power, GP, Box in my sun room today I thought about my New Year’s Resolution in last night’s posting. This year I planted one type of lettuce, one that has good cold tolerant. Every few weeks I plant a few new seeds. My hope is to harvest two or three bowls of lettuce a week, like the bowl of lettuce in this picture.
In past years I tried growing a variety of items in the box. The green lettuce is simple and focused like I hope to make life in this New Year. Sprinkling salad dressing on the lettuce is like sprinkling small acts of kindness in our daily life; it adds taste to the lettuce or life. A good salad needs other ingredients, tomatoes, cucumbers and more, just as we need family and friends. When I make salad I always add spices, like mint, garlic seasoning, salt, pepper and basil. We all need spice in our life.
The lettuce in the GP box when picked grows back again and again but eventually dies and needs to be replenished with new seeds planted in the ground. There will be many small deaths in daily life this year but there is hope that the seeds we plant will bring new life.
Yesterday I resolved to be more of myself this year and to do more with less. The lettuce is nothing but itself and there is much we can do with this lesser item. Keeping it simple and green is good for the lettuce and me.
