Yes, that is lettuce. Or according to the tag "City Salad Mix" My rosemary plant was looking mighty lonely, and of my *very few*choices to buy, it was the lettuce.
It is the growing season (one of two) in South Florida, yet when I told one of the people in the garden department - they had no idea. Seriously.
All the Wal-marts, Loews, Home Depots, etc have all replaced the majority of their Garden Departments with Christmas stuff. I kid you not. It's not even Halloween, and after that is Thanksgiving. And *then* comes Christmas!
How is it possible that A - these people don't even know now is the growing season for the department? And B - IT'S NOT EVEN HALLOWEEN YET!! *deep breath* Okay - I'm calm now.
But now a few questions... How does one even know when lettuce is ready to pick? It looks okay to me now, but will it grow back? My sister contends it's super easy to grow... let's hope, because this is my first experience with trying to grow it. I guess I will have to *egad!* have to look it up!
Anyway - wish me luck. Tomorrow - my book review on The Wilder Life. It was... something.
Later!
:)
Your garden looks great!
ReplyDeleteYes, those are ready, Just cut the big leaves and leave the small leaves. It's in today's post: http://www.caleyskitchengarden.com/2013/10/salad-from-growing-money-plan-repotted.html Thanks for the reminder! I should pay more attention.
