Our first harvest!

Yesterday Mateo from Farming Concrete came to the farm to show us how to track our harvest.  He also gave us a scale.
It was an exciting day as we harvested the lettuce for the school picnic.

We decided to give the lettuce a "haircut" instead of pulling out the whole plant.  We hope this speeds up the re-growth process.  Afterwards, you couldn't even tell we harvested there is still so much lettuce! And other things...the snap peas have germinated as well as the nasturtium!

We weighed our harvest and it totaled .7 of a lb of Mesculin!

We also harvested some of the Apple Mint, but it was so light you couldn't weigh it.  We hope to make a refreshing iced tea. 

Later.....Everyone enjoyed the mesculin salad which we added local goat cheese, apple, walnuts and dressing to!
