All the hubbub around this has died down, but David and I learned last weekend that one of our direct neighbors had swine flu recently. At first I was shocked, but the swine flu hasn't been that much worse than the regular flu and I haven't been sick, so I just sort of forgot about it. But I figured it makes an interesting story...I mean how many people can say they know someone who had swine flu?
On another note, I planted my vegetable garden. I re-arranged the rows this year, and gave certain veggies more prime spots than others. We'll see how it works out, but i'm hopeful that the crop will be good.
I planted: 3 kinds of tomatoes (1 big, 2 cherry types), zucchini, yellow squash, cucumbers, buttercrunch lettuce, romaine, spinach, red pepper, yellow pepper, broccoli, basil and cilantro. I plan to plant some pole beans, but I haven't figured out what they will climb on yet, so I haven't planted them. I think that is it....Can anyone tell me how to harvest my lettuces and will they grow back after I harvest or do I just get one head out of each plant?
