Perfect growing conditions it seems for young lettuce seedlings................
Growing at present are Red & Green Oak Leaf and lots and lots of tiny Freckles seedlings, the seeds of which I harvested at the end of Summer from summer plantings grown from seed sent from LIZ .
When these little beauties are a tad bigger they will be transplanted into the main garden bed and some given away to neighbors to try.
Thanks again Liz your love of gardening is spreading.....................
Other salad greens include young spinach leaves, red and green cos lettuce , parsley and garlic tops.
We have been enjoying our salad in our weekly lamb wraps and sandwiches .
Yesterday I planted out another batch of spinach seedlings, broccoli, mini cabbages, Italian parsley and a set of brown onions .
This weeks job in the plot will be to erect the portable frost covers.

Isn't it wonderful that lettuces like the cooler weather when other vegetables are finished! We are in hot summer weather now - it will be September before I can plant lettuce again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and comment on my blog. To answer your question about the Sweet Cayenne Peppers: My husband, who likes hot peppers, says they are very mild. I don't really like peppers, so I haven't actually tasted of them myself.
Happy Gardening!

Looking good and proving salads can be grown year-round :)
ReplyDeleteLettuce and Asian greens were the only thing I planted this year given that we were moving mid-winter. I really appreciated their quick growth and determination to survive in the cold. They were added to plenty of tacos and noodle dishes.
