The garden got a little neglected during the past month while I was on a busy inpatient rotation. We have been having great lettuce for a while now, but it has recently turned bitter and I pulled it up today to make room for spinach and arugula. We could harvest the beets at any time and I pulled up a carrot today that was very tasty.

We have learned a lot with this year’s practice garden. Our biggest mistake was probably getting behind with watering. Next year we will have to do soaker hoses.
