This was the scene yesterday over at the vegetable
beds near the nursery: last year’s lettuce popping up again in March! This has
been going on for several years now: Pam & Roger, the gardeners, allow some
of their lettuce to go to seed, and–voila!–we have all kinds of baby lettuce
the following spring. If thinned, many of these will produce beautiful big
heads.
At this point, you make be contemplating a Victory Garden. Good idea! If you
don’t happen to have lettuce volunteers, it’s not too late to seed–and lettuce
comes on fast in the spring.
