Rampaging Lettuce

rampaging lettuceThe lettuce have really come on over the past week. They have done brilliantly, considering weather conditions at planting out (temperatures down to near freezing with an bitter wind). We haven't lost a single one. I did have a photo of what they looked like the next day, but it seems to have got lost.

To give a bit more room and light, the outside leaves can be picked off and used. More will come from the centre.

The slug prevention tape seems to have worked, as well.

P.S. Have just found a recipe for lettuce soup. Looks like I'm going to need it.
