First harvest on the farm!

Today saw another work day out on the farm, as we were able to have our first 'mini-harvest' of lettuce, chard, bibb lettuce, kale, broccoli, and radishes. We also put in: green & red peppers, hot peppers (including one plant claiming to be "the world's hottest peppers"), tomatoes, eggplant, beans, and hopefully some zuchini later this week.

While most of the things we planted a few weeks ago are taking off, the beans we'd planted just didn't take (we think it got too cold for them with the last cold snap), so we put some new seeds in. It was great to be able to get some veggies out of the garden. Now just waiting for a great salad with ingredients from the garden.

Some of the highlights:
