Lettuce progress
A friend gave me some Crawford lettuce seeds last year. I also planted regular Romaine lettuce. Crawford lettuce is a type of Romaine. It did great and when it went to seed, I cut off the stalks and stored them in a paper bag in the garage all summer. The seeds look kind of like cotton, or like the seeds of a dandelion that you see in many urban yards. Well, towards the end of November I took them out and sprinkled them in a planter. I put them in a planter because I want them close to the house so I will use them. Trying to eat healthy and all. Germination rate was high.
They are too crowded so I thinned them and potted some up to give to friends and family. I gave some to my co-workers and was overwhelmed by the positive response. Gardening is such a rewarding experience. Not only growing the plants but giving the fruits and vegetables…and even the plants away.
