An early date in the garden

Cassie and I spent about 20 minutes in the garden this mornig, drinking coffee and, I’m pleased to say, putting in 20-some lettuce plants. I usually doze for a half-hour after spouse Linda hits the road on her 4-mile jog, but it’s getting lighter in the morning, so today I got up with her.
By the time I made coffeee, fed the dog, got the papers and breakfast, it was light enough to make our way: the garden thermometers - both digital and analog - were reporting a brisk 42 degrees and the effort to plant the red and green leaf lettuce seedlings in an alternating pattern kept the chill off. So now, only the pole beans need to go in. I’m feeling dumb I didn’t pick up some yellow wax beans while I was at the nursery…

You’ve inspired me: my lettuce and veggies go in this weekend! Your lettuce looks great. Might be a tad warmer in SoCal, so I’ll race you to the first salad bowl.
