The Cycle of Fresh Leaves

I’ve been enjoying lots and lots of fresh greens from my greenhouse over the past month. There’s really nothing better than cutting a colander full of leaves and eating them right away.

But the Rocket (Arugula) has started to go to seed and is coming to the end of its usefulness.

So I sowed some more, about two weeks ago and already it’s almost big enough to pick a few leaves. I love this cycle. So healthy, both for me and the garden.

My plan is to keep growing until it’s time to plant Tomatoes in the bed in the greenhouse. At that point I’ll clear away these leaves and make the transfer to picking leaves from outside.
