Recipe: Fresh salsa + Supplies

There are a billion ways to make fresh salsa--the simplest way is what I whipped up late last night:
- Roma tomatoes ("Fresh salsa" variety, lots of meat, less guts, intended for salsa)
- Red onion, diced
- Cilantro, fresh, chopped
- Garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste

I wish I had some hot peppers ready to be added... but I don't. My boss was telling me about his "rainbow salsa" which uses lots of colors of tomatoes (different varieties). I ate some today at lunch and it was great. So refreshing. I would care for it to be a little more spicy next time.

Today I stopped by the hardware store and bought some "potting mix" and a package of 32 small peat-pots for seed starting. I plan on starting a handful of kale plants, more spinach, maybe lettuce, and possibly some swiss chard... These tiny peat-pots are perfect for transplanting. By the time you have a suitable seedling, the peat is really easy to tear apart so you don't end up losing the potting soil from the fragile roots that aren't hairy enough to hold on to it.
