Salad days

Broccoli, romaine and red leaf lettuces are starting to come in ... time to start eating more salads! We're clipping the outer lettuce leaves so that more lettuce will continue to come in the centers of the heads. The Internet says that's how you keep a supply going for a while; if you wait until the whole head comes in and then harvest, you get to eat nothing but lettuce for a week until it's gone. Then I guess you move on to zucchini week, strawberry week, etc.
