Oh My Garden!
I grow a lot of lettuce because we eat a lot of lettuce 🥬. No meal is complete without a side salad 🥗, my favorite is fresh lettuce topped with crumbled feta, roasted sliced almonds and my homemade basil and honey dressing (the dressing is so good I can bribe my instructors to teach more classes with it🤭)
My lettuce bed is my most productive bed, and yet it requires the least of my attention👀!
I have up cycled some vinyl blinds to lay on top of my dirt and just cut holes in it and dug out the holes to drop my lettuce pods in. Succession planting is a must for lettuce beds, I always have seedlings on the go in small pots ready to pop into the bed when there’s room.
This bed requires no weeding, which I appreciate and less water, which Mother Nature appreciates, I use a slow release ground fertilizer that feeds each plant no matter how many times I replant them.
Fresh, live lettuce is like summer tomatoes, and when you go back to store bought produce, your taste buds are insulted by your choice🤬
In the summer grow your own, it’s easy, rewarding and delicious; in the winter get your live lettuce at Slegers Greens; it’s local, delicious and does your body good to eat fresh live greens when we aren’t getting as much 🌞
