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
