Those lettuces won't last you long, BM. Take at look at this :-

Diets for some of the animals at Bristol Zoo:
• Jock the silverback gorilla -On an average day, Jock will eat 6 iceburg lettuces, 5 leafy lettuces, 4½ large carrots, 3½ chicory, 1 pepper, 4½ tomatoes, one celery, 1 parsnip, 1 leek, 2 boiled eggs, 1 broccoli, a quarter of a bunch of grapes, a varying amount of browse and 2 litres of diluted fruit juice.

Thanks for that VC, they should last me about 3 days then..........

[RedThorn]

what?! you on diet then?

Not only am I chuffed to bits with my lettuce, I am also chuffed to bits with you guys. I really expected grapes to take a look and think "Yeh, they're ok but they're only lettuce" So many thanks to all who have posted.

Hope you have some more coming along or you're going to be very hungry!
Don't you just love the fact that an enormous gorilla is vegetarian

They're not "only lettuce", they're pretty much perfection! Mine are still languishing in little modules, begging to be planted out. Wish I'd got a move on a bit earlier!

Mine too ^^^^^^^ Well done BM ....

[Newbie]

Mine three ^^^^^ Well done!

Having visited this forum for about a year now, I'd never have guessed you're in your first year of having a plot BM. You know far too much!

Nice of you to say Sarriss but when I read posts from other grapes I realise in fact how little I know & the little I do know has come from the vine so your compliment has rightly been passed onto the vine.

ONLY lettuce ! Ooh, now he's rubbing it in...I had such lettuce envy the instant I saw your picture...I grind my teeth every time I buy a pair of Little Gems from T*sco for more than I can afford...this is my lettuce so far this year...

Still, I'm pleased with my turnips, they are romping away now...


I think we appreciate your achievement better than most, BM.

[Bigmallly]

Cheers Sno, I can't grow anything ending in "nips" so I don't even bother trying.

[Tripmeup]

Well done BM...

Thankfully my stuff ending in nips is going well..
But your lettuce looks way better than mine..

[yekim_4321]

Nice one BM.
I would never have guessed this was your first year! that is so impressive....and to the everyday Joe who buys lettuce from the supermarkets then yeah i guess it is 'only lettuce' but to everyone here it is a marvelous and heart warming sight...and gives me hope that those 'weeds' i have growing will eventually turn into something edible

Fabulous crop BM, looks like you've worked really hard on the soil there. The chard looks great also.
