lettuce & spinach windowboxes.  time to have some fresh salad! 

Ovation Greens Mix from Johnny's Selected Seeds:  contains Arugula, Mizuna, Tatsoi, Red Mustard and Kale.  I ran out of shallow containers with large surface area, so I started these greens from plug trays in non-porous mixing bowls that I wasn't using.  Thanks Dad for getting them started!  I can't wait to devour these greens - we have them in windowboxes available now at Bexley Natural Market and Clintonville Community Market.
