Mmmm salad
Last night’s salad:
- Spinach
- Arugula
- Chard
- Tom thumb
- Buttercrunch
- Mustard
- Parsley
- Mint
- Nasturtium
- Radish greens
- Bee balm
- Chive flowers
Now I just need to figure out a good dressing I can make from my home grown ingredients, and I’ll be set. Maybe soybean oil, lemon balm/lemon thyme, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and sea salt.
Just doing some guesstimates, it takes about 3 spinach plants for a small salad. Using the SFG technique, if I wanted to eat a salad each day, it would take about 19 squares to have a continuous supply. Of course, I would have to stop planting from May 1 - August 1, so that takes out about 1/4 of the year where I could be harvesting spinach.

My favorite is Creamy Garlic
1 cup oil
1 egg
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp salt
1 tsp celery seed
1 tbsp honey
3 tbsp vinegar
2 to 4 cloves of garlic
Put half the oil and all the rest in whatever you use to blend it. Blend and slowly add the remaining oil. It is best if it
sits overnight for the flavors to blend. Also good as a dip for vegetables.
