As we ease into the third week of harvests, we’re confronted with a farming dilemma. What will we do when our rigorously deliberate (and spaced) lettuce plantings all ripen on the identical time? I assume we ask everybody to PLEASE make numerous salad! These child Romaines weren’t speculated to be prepared till subsequent week, however they’re prepared now! Some crops like lettuce cannot simply hand around in the fields and wait their flip. After they’re prepared, they’re prepared!
PRO TIP: Feeling overwhelmed with greens? Spend quarter-hour washing ALL your lettuce and cooking greens as quickly as you get an opportunity. Wash, spin dry and retailer in an hermetic container (ziplock bag works) so that you’re prepared to tug out the leaves for salads all week. Additionally, whip up an enormous jar of salad dressing so you may get your salad on the desk in lower than 60 seconds!
