Planting More Lettuce

June 16th, 2008

This morning I planted some more lettuce seeds. They are in the basement where it’s cool for quicker germination, I also put the seeds in the fridge for a couple days to cool them off. I wanted to do succession planting this spring, but I’ve had too many other gardening chores this year so that didn’t happen. I know they won’t be up & ready before we eat the last of our lettuce that’s in the garden, but hopefully we’ll be enjoying them later this summer.

What kinds of lettuce did I start?
Arugula
Butter May Lettuce
Mesclum Mix

About

This is a journal of my small organic gardens in north eastern Ohio, zone 5(a). Our gardens are named after our dog Lucy, a big brown/black lab mix from the local pound. We started calling her “Chiots” when she was a puppy and the name stuck. She thinks the yard and gardens belong to her, she chases away all squirrels & rabbits and the UPS man.

Our yard is very small and fairly shady, we are surrounded by woods all 3 sides. The soil is made up of rocks and clay, not the best, but I’ve spent 7 years adding chicken manure & compost. When we first moved in 8 years ago, the gardens were in terrible shape from years of neglect and too many chemical pesticides and fertilizers. It has taken years to reset the balance of nature and we're finally starting to see the fruit of our efforts. We unearth worms when we dig and we are seeing more and more birds and beneficial insects in the gardens. The soil is also starting to improve after years and years of hard work amending it with all kinds of organic compost.
