I picked our first lettuce of the year last week. Lettuce is one of my favorite things to grow in the garden. It is so easy to grow. It is one of the quickest things to grow, you get fast results compared to most other things in the garden. It also does not take up a lot of space. Even in a small space you can grow a little lettuce. And it is so much better than store bought lettuce. It is crisp, yet tender, and oh so flavorful.
And doesn’t it just look so pretty compared to store bought lettuce?
You should try growing lettuce. It will help you understand why people garden.

Looks lovely AND yummy!
enjoy
Your lettuce looks just like the kind we grow! However, it’s already too hot here for it…so what’s out in the garden has become bitter.
Love, love, love garden fresh lettuce. There is no comparison to the store bought kind.
Beautiful…makes me want a salad!
Oh you have lettuce already! I have a long way to go before I see anything in my garden!!
For the first time this year I’m going to try growing lettuce and other salad greens by winter sowing. This is when you sow your seeds in the middle of witner with snow still on the ground. You use recycled milk jugs to create mini-greenhouses to help the seeds germinate. I don’t know if it’s going to turn out, but it’s one way to get your hands dirty in the middle of February.
