Friday
A reader reports from the Bruce Monroe Community Garden:
“Friday: My lettuce is doing so well! It’s almost time to harvest it. Maybe just a couple more days.
Saturday
Saturday: Half my lettuce is gone! It’s been stolen! I should go home and grab a bag and then harvest the rest of the lettuce now. Or tomorrow.
Sunday
Sunday: My lettuce is nearly ALL gone!!!! There is a lettuce thief! That is soo not cool. Wish I had returned on Saturday to harvest the rest myself. I was so looking forward to the fruits (veggies) of my labor. The trials and tribulations of an urban garden without a fence.”
