I ate a salad from my Gardyn today w/my dinner! All that was missing was the egg whites. I even cut up apples and sprinkled them on the salad.
Yay, me, cuz I avoid them things like the plague for some reason.

Has anyone used the Gardyn? J and I were talking about getting one bc we went to the farmers market yesterday and there was almost NO GREENS to be had—not even for ready money.
I mean, I was scrolling through their lettuces with a fervor normally reserved for Bad Bunny TikToks.

Baltimore? The guy I saw today is an endodontist (Jeffrey Gardyn, www.endodonticspa.com/our-team/jef...) but my regular dentist is Dr García (www.drgarciadds.com) and he's right downtown, two blocks from the harbor. They're both fantastic.
Jeffrey Gardyn, DDS - Endodontics PA
Dr. Gardyn graduated Magna cum laude from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry where he received the American Association of Endodontists award for student achievement.
