Today

I'm harvesting some fantastic lettuce from the garden daily.  I have a tray of transplants ready and waiting...as a lettuce is harvested a lettuce transplant replaces it...along with a small scoop of my awesome new compost.  If all goes well, I'll have daily lettuce until the middle of June and then I'll replant in August for lettuce daily from Fall to Early Summer.  There's just such a short period of time it's too hot for lettuce.  I then turn to roasted corn and black bean salads; tomato, onion and cucumber salads; tomato, basil and mozzarella salads, chilled 3 bean salad, but I do miss a nice crisp leafy salad during that period of time.

Beautiful lettuces! We really can't grow the because of our insane snail population.

Beautiful lettuces! We haven't seeded any outside yet (too cold) but have seedlings on stand-by and ready to go.

What beautiful lettuce. I planted my first lettuce yesterday. I hope it grows quickly as I so want fresh lettuce again. The stuff from the store just isn't the same.
