After having no salads from my potager last year I may have been a bit too enthusiastic when planning and planting this year.

We’ve had a bumper crop of lettuce this year. First we had the red and green curly heads that I planted from sets. That was followed by the red and green ‘mesclun’ mix that I planted from seed. We’re finishing with the red and green romaine that is slowest to grow and handles the warmer … Continue reading…
