Lotsa Lettuce

When I started this lettuce last spring nothing happened. I waited. Nothing. So I kept re-planting seeds about once a month in various parts of my yard. I have three pallet gardens, one ground bed and one planter. I now have lettuce coming out my ears! And it's beautiful. Feast your eyes...

I think I'll enter it in the county fair.

I also planted the basil about four times before it came up. See it to the left in the photo below? It's hardly an inch high. Usually by this time it's been cultivated three or four times. We've had a cool summer so I'm blaming all this on the weather.

So glad I love salad!
