Packaged in the Field

Biking around Yuma we are still in awe of the Vegetable Fields we see!....When we come across a harvest...the smell of fresh vegetables is delicious!!

I never realized...that the lettuce is packaged and readied for delivery trucks right in the field!

After taking a few pictures...I turned around... Hubby had been given a couple packages of lettuce from the field!

So tonight the boxes packaged in the field today will be traveling to stores throughout the country...

When and pick up some lettuce at the grocery store.....chances are it was packaged...right in the field it grew!!

For supper we enjoyed a Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato Salad..... with FRESH lettuce straight from the field!!

Lettuce

I remember my first head of Yuma lettuce....fresh from the field...It was Romaine...and it was yummy. Lettuce is lettuce...but that lettuce was VERY GOOD!

The last two times we have been in Yuma and we pass a lettuce field... I wish I could just go and pick myself a head...

On one of our walks...we walk past a lettuce field... every time I see the lettuce...I crave it!

Then one day....the pickers were picking!!

I begged hubby....to ask if we could buy a fresh bunch of lettuce...

I watched from the distance...and got worried....

Hubby stopped him cutting us some...after 4 bunches...

It is delicious!!

(I didn't keep it all for ourselves... I did share with the neighbours!)

But guess what's for dinner....

And for lunch!
