My garden lettuce is nicer than ever this year.

1. Beautiful.

My sense of smell is so scute that I can smell things just from pictures.

These pics I can smell the fresh.

I commonly can smell bakery items from pictures. Like birthday cake, Cinnabon, brownies.

I can smell bubble gum just by thinking of it.

3. I wish I could send you some, Lake.

5. Beautiful!

I have another week before mine is big enough to eat. But it's looking nice so far. Our weather has been cool so far and all my planning for our now normal scorching early summer are defeating me to some degree in that my plants are slow to grow without the heat I was anticipating. They are healthier so I am not disappointed, too much. Just a little impatient.

6. I think the cooler weather has indeed helped, 2naSalit.

I have a second row going that’s about 2 weeks behind this one. I hope we don’t get miserable heat next couple weeks.

Hope you are enjoying yours soon!

[2naSalit]

7. I will be!

Enjoy yours now!

8. What stunning heads of lettuce, my dear Diamond_Dog!

You could open a shop with this high quality lettuce, and the variety too!

Just gorgeous.

[Diamond_Dog]

15. Aw! Thank you. California Peggy!

My hubby is the one with the green thumb! I just eat it!

[Diamond_Dog]

10. Those are so pretty

[Diamond_Dog]

17. Thank you, Iris.

I think most vegetables are kinda pretty in the garden along with flowers.

11. My grandmother had a recipe for hot bacon, onion, vinegar, sugar dressing over red lettuce.

I can still taste it.

[Diamond_Dog]

18. Hot bacon dressing!

Yum! Especially on spinach salad!

12. Mmm....Crunchy

A salad sandwich without lettuce is a disappointment. The photos exude crunchly goodness. Cheers

[Diamond_Dog]

20. Thank you, Ezra Star

Lettuce is best when crunchy, I think.

13. Did you grown lettuce from seed?

I only grow ours from starters. Lots of Romaine this year. Apparently happy with cloudy conditions.

[Diamond_Dog]

21. Some are from seed, others are starters.

I’m not sure which is which, since my hubby is the planter! Whatever the source, they do seem to like the cooler weather we’ve had this year.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

27. Pretty sure its too late for more lettuce in SoCal

We finally had sunshine today where we are. But hot weather is due soon.

[AllyCat]

14. Ours is good this year too!

Yours looks much better behaved than mine

[Diamond_Dog]

22. Lol. This is a first for us, usually

Usually it starts to Peter out in July.

[mgardener]

19. I'm impressed

[Diamond_Dog]

23. Thank you, mgardener

Since your name is mgardener, what are you growing this year that’s doing well?
