Home-Grown Lettuce from the Garden

Big Guy started early on his lettuce plantings thanks to the addition of his cold frame to the Carondelet Garden. Thanks to our milder weather, I have been able to bypass the “sad” lettuce at the grocery store and pick fresh butter crisp, spinach, and romaine lettuce from my backyard. Yum!

As we live with the motto, you can never have enough plants, we also recently added a city garden variety to our selection. The great part about the cold frame is we can easily harvest our lettuce and it is usually pest free since the slugs do not have access to it.

Now, if I can only get my baby doodle dog to stop eating the rest of the produce! The joy, and forgotten memory, of having a puppy!
