I love garden lettuce. I would love to grow lettuce year round since it grows well in cooler weather. These are the starter plants I bought from the Amish community not too far from us.
They started off looking a bit puny after I planted them. And then the goats ate one row of them and then chickens broke into the garden a few times and caused problems….
I planted a mixed lettuce patch from seed that is popping up nicely. I am hoping that the weather stays nice so that it does well.
Here is what my starter plants currently look like. So far this week, I have picked lettuce daily—nice sandwich lettuce and bowl salad lettuces for supper.
I have some tomatoes and peppers started in little peat pots sitting in egg cartons. We let them stay inside on the kitchen counter until it warmed up a bit more. I think this week is looking like a good garden planting week!
We have never tried lettuce but yours looks really nice. We have our garden in the ground and are hoping for a good crop. Last year was so dry that we could not get much canned so we are hoping for more this year. My daughter and I just began canning some of our vegetables a couple of years back and we love doing it together. She and I, along with her three daughters, have a great time in the kitchen, it is a nice chance to make some good memories!
