How Grows the Garden?

It's not Spring on the prairie

It's still February after all

But on a non-snowy and warmish February day

I like to plant lettuces

I got a head start this year

With a couple of four packs

Two of romaine and two of leaf lettuce

As well as the lettuce and spinach seeds I bought when I first saw them this winter

They all go into the pots around the garden

The pots empty of flowers hold winter greenery

which is tired looking by February

It's too early to plant anything and I don't like to look at empty pots.

The solution:

Lettuces!

It gives me green in the pots

It gives me greens for the table!

And by the time the lettuces are done and bolting

The annuals are in the garden centers

and it's warm enough to plant them!

A concrete pot with the lettuces

And my long pot with the romaine.

The other pots aren't as pretty.

They are, after all, just soil and seeds.

Soon, especially with planting plants,

I'll get to harvest some tasty greens for salads.

What could be more seasonal than a garden?    I'm joining The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sundays and my transformation of my garden pots with Susan at Between Naps On The Porch for Met Monday.
