Cool season lettuce is the first leaves to be harvested this year. Normally spinach is first, but lettuce is just as good and can be used for many dishes. It is always to have lettuce fresh from the garden for salads because this way you can enjoy the full flavor of your hard work. (more…)
Just wanted to update you on what has been going on with my garden over the past week. So far I have only been picking my black seeded Simpson lettuce at the moment which is a great iceberg type lettuce. It The lettuce has been growing quite well and the leaves have grown to large sizes.
I am very happy about this because last season I didn’t grow any and I definitely missed out on their great flavor. I still have not picked any of the ruby glow hybrid leaves yet, but they are not growing as fast as my iceberg lettuce. Granted these are romaine type leaves and I will have to pick them differently than my iceberg type leaves. (more…)
