It seems like spring in that I've been eating lettuce all week. My second plantings of romaine and mesclun are coming into their own and so I had three salads this week, for a total harvest of 8 oz. of lettuce and greens.
We cut back the Swiss Chard this week to harvest about another 12 oz. for Swiss Chard Risotto. It will take a bit for it to recover. As usual, I forgot to photograph the Swiss Chard.
I harvested 9 oz of blue lake green beans and my first pickling cucumber (3.5 oz). The green beans became dilly beans and the cucumber went into bread & butter pickles.
A second harvest of 8 oz Romano Beans went into a curry dish. I didn't remember to photograph them until they were chopped and in with some of the other vegetables. The Romanos seem to be producing more than the Blue Lake.
Here is a quick view of the two beds. ( I really need to pull the peas!)Here are a few things I'm looking forward to harvesting in the next week.

Your garden overview is looking great. I wish I kept sowing lettuce this summer. Its been so cool it would have done really well as yours did. I like your idea for swiss chard risotto, I will be giving the a try. I made pea risotto this spring and it was excellent.
