Just a quick update to say we had our first harvest from Matt's Patch on Monday. Nothing spectacular but some fresh lettuce leaves and land cress. Megan and I went out to get the first crop so that Mrs Matt could complete the salad for dinner! The seeds were planted about 6 weeks ago so have done well. We all commented on how soft the leaves were - much better than shop bought stuff. In fact the only disappointing thing was the realisation that I'm going to have to plant a lot more of this type of lettuce as the individual plants are not that large. It pretty much took all the leaves that were ready to come up with this little lot.
