About Garden & Nature
A well-kept salad garden is one of the quiet pleasures of the kitchen patch — cool rows of butterhead lettuce catching the morning light, peppery arugula tucking in beside mild spinach, and bold radicchio adding a flush of deep red to the bowl. The salad green has traveled far: romaine is named for seeds that legend says came back from Rome, watercress has been gathered from cold, clear streams for centuries, and hearty kale was a staple in cottage gardens long before it graced any market shelf. Every bowl is its own small season — something to harvest young and enjoy the same day, still carrying the freshness of the garden.
