Lettuce in the greenhouse

[hydrogardener3]

Quite by accident I found a lettuce variety that does well in the greenhouse without bolting to seed. Well, it has not yet, however I am not going to push my luck, so this evening it will be in a salad.

The variety is Oscarde.

Looks like a cut and come again variety hydro?

It is a cut and come again but I need the room as I would like to grow ground cherries. Our baby grandaughter loves them. They are a member of the tomato family and taste like a cross between a strawberry and pineapple.

Ground cherries?..............Sounds interesting, I'll have to google them!

Ahhhhhh! Just googled! I'm growing two of the Ground Cherries relatives i.e Physalis edulis (cape gooseberries) and Tomatillo Verdi!

We purchased some at a farmer's market in the fall and loved them. I saved some seeds and they are up and going in less than a week. There are some in the soil garden, but the insects seem to attack them, but leave the tomatoes alone. So to make sure I we get some, I will grow them under glass. If they grow as I expect I will post a photo. I don't know about the cape gooseberry, but these only grow a foot or so high, which is fine with me.
