Salad Bouquet


The bunnies are on hiatus--perhaps off to Big Bear for ski week. The lettuces are growing strong. Most of my lettuce plants are single varieties. I'm not sure how this bouquet grouping came to be but stunning it is. The lettuce bouquet is comprised of arugala, romaine, oak leaf lettuce, and red leaf lettuce. This will make a perfect single salad serving.

Red Lettuce



The very warm, sunny days are encouraging a lush growth of lettuce in my garden. The lettuce is also threatening to bolt! Yikes. Don't do it.

New Year's Lettuce


I planted a six-pack of both romaine and red lettuce in November. Thanks to our sunny, warm weather, these plants have grown to beautiful lettuce to pick for dinner salads.
One reason I have had such luck this year with my winter crops is the loss of two cypress trees on my neighbor's property. Both trees developed problems this past year and were removed from the southern hillside below my garden. Now I am getting sun in the garden which normally would be shaded by the trees. Sorry trees but happy sunny garden!
