Lettuce on the Table
Our fall lettuce is ready for cuttings now, and at this point I’m mostly just thinning out the growth in the planting. We use a mild-tasting leaf lettuce mix; I tried a mesclun blend last spring but it was too pungent for my palette. The heads are growing so rapidly though I’m afraid we may soon be eating salad at every meal to keep up with the plants. Lettuce fresh from the garden is so good that the watery grocery varieties just don’t compare.
Our first planting of snow peas started blooming this week, so I hope we get some mature ones before the holidays. The broccoli also looks great.
What are your favorite fall crops?
