I have been really excited with the spurts of sunny weather here in Seattle.  It is almost time to do some gardening.  I am hoping to have a modest vegetable garden this year.  I will start with some lettuces.  They are a great way to bulk up your garden, as well as provide a steady amount of fresh greens to your kitchen.

For those of you like me, you are trying to shed a few pounds and change your diet.  Having fresh greens with some vegetables and a chicken breast is a great way to get good nutrition and still feel as though you had a substantial meal.

So try planting a small planter box with some lettuces….you might discover your own green thumb (pun intended).
