The All-garden Salad Challenge

     One of my favorite things to do is to have an all-garden salad.  The salad ingredients change throughout the season, so it's always fun to see what kind of salads I can create. It is a thrill to grow my own food, but the real joy comes in cooking and eating it. The first all-garden salad this year consisted of lettuces and arugula that had overwintered with chopped chives and violets. With the mild winter and lovely spring that we had, I think that first salad was in early April.

April 27 Salad: Second cuttings of overwintered lettuces and arugula, 'D'avignon' and 'Cherriette' radishes, dill, and chive flowers.
