First Lettuce Harvest of the Season
Today was perfect for picking lettuce leaves especially after the rain we got this past week. The cool weather also helped them and it showed when I started harvesting the plants and how big the leaves were. They were similar in size to my spinach leaves that were picked last month.
I probably could have picked some leaves in mid to late May if I wanted to, but I wanted to make sure that the leaves got as big as they possibly could. Most of the plants had large lettuce leaves which were the oldest and the first ones harvested. (more…)
