26. Veggie garden - lettuce and tomatoes only this year.

Sat Jul 11, 2026, 04:01 PM

Saturday

Green leaf, red leaf, and red romaine lettuce.

Tomatoes are Early Girl, 4th of July, Brandywine, Beefsteak, Juliet, and Moby Grape.

We’ve had two ripe Beefsteaks and the lettuce is just crazy - salad every night!
