Lettuce

I’m growing three different kinds of lettuce that I got from Lieven, my plant breeding friend in Belgium.

Sherwood:

Pinokkio (Pinocchio):

I guess pictures of lettuce can only be so exciting, but if you could taste it you would be amazed. Home grown lettuce is so nice!

  1. I’ve taken the somewhat lazy route this year an planted mixed seed from Seeds of Italy. Maybe I should look at the varieties and their ratio in the pack and make my own mix up through offerings on SSE.

  2. The varieties look nice! I especially like the look of the Pinokkio. I grew salad bowl and then standard unnamed butter lettuce and iceberg to fill in some gaps.

    They are all enormous but some have been completely decimated by slugs. I figured I have so many that I may as well let the slugs eat some.

    Next year – different types 🙂

  3. Actually, for those of us who like salad greens, pictures of lettuce ARE exciting! Where I am it’s too hot to grow now (mine bolted weeks ago, and it was over 100ºF on Saturday) but I’m waiting for the cooler weather to plant more. Yours look delicious.
