Is there a seasonal treat you enjoy a lot?

15. salads from my own garden

I know this will seem holier than thou but when I go into a store and they have pre-made salads, I drool. There is another effect seeing a salad has, and that is I feel like I'm melting. I see all these colorful vegetables arranged on top and I want to buy the salad, even though it probably costs $9! My favorite thing to see is snap peas, cucumbers, and cherry tomatoes on top. Maybe a slice of yellow zucchini.

But I don't buy their salad because most of the year I have fresh greens going in my garden. There is nothing like freshly picked greens. If I don't have them growing outside, I have them growing in my greenhouse. Right now, though, the pickings are pretty sparse.

There are a few places that don't know how to make and display a salad. There is one place that's run by four brothers. They are very aggressive businessmen and own all kinds of businesses but their salads are terrible. They grate everything. And they don't know how to tear the leaves so they are a manageable size. When I look at their salads, I just laugh.
