My first lettuce!

[Squirrel]

Sat down for lunch yesterday with the greens on my plate OUT OF MY GARDEN!!

Feel dead chuffed as it is the first time I have managed to grow my own veg without any help! Admitedly I got the original plant from the garden centre when it was still small. My own lettuce seeds are growing on a pace and will be ready to go out in the beds in the next couple of weeks - ooh this is so exciting!

One very delighted Squirrel!

Well done.

Its always nice to reap the rewards of your efforts Squirrel....and this is just the beginning!

hurray! well done Squirrel!

We had some of my salad leaves for tea last week - makes you proud doesn't it!

I've had somes lambs lettuce and more salad leaves just germinated in my greenhouse so I can keep it going through the summer - sadly my mini-greenhouse decided to take flying lessons across the garden yesterday so I've lost them!
Will have to start again! Good job they don't take long!

Freshly picked lettuce is great - lovely and crispy. The difference between your own grown which is on the plate within 30 minutes of picking and the stuff you buy is amazing.

I like to grow the cut & come again types so that I can just snip off however much I need at a time, that way it's always totally fresh as you don't need to store part unused lettuce in the fridge or anything(only 2 of us so we don't use a whole lettuce at once)
