Yesterday I picked more beans, and made my second lettuce harvest. It filled another gallon Ziploc or so. I also picked my first spinach. It definitely grows slower and produces less then the lettuce. Or course, I only ended up with one plant as well. Since I pulled out my nasty buggy cucumbers and zucchini, I seem to be fending off the spider mites on my beans and tomatoes using insectisidal soap. Wish I would've known that sooner.... Also, it is better to sacrifice a few leaves, or even a whole plant early on, and save the rest, then to "wait and see". That definitely doesn't work. Pull the infested stuff right off, and hit the rest with insectisidal soap hard and fast. That will be the strategy next time I plant.
