This is the. first year my lettuce has been this awesome! The trick? WAIT until it's lettuce season---some like it hot, but NOT lettuce. I've always been to pushy with lettuce and planted it way too early. Today I even found a heart in the lettuce! @heidihanna I pick the leaves I need, wash them, then store them in water until use. Lettuces are a good source of folate, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, and potassium. They don't contribute much fiber but do have a high water content. Grown with absolutely no pesticide or herbicide. I use row covers to keep out most pests and hand pick any visible pests and weeds. Enzo, my duck dog, also helps---he can smell a worm and will pick it off without damaging the leaves. Crazy. pup! The last 3-4 days have been cool enough to remove the cover and let them get a bit more sun. My grandpa grew great lettuce and love thinking I'm carrying on a little bit of tradition in the garden. #suburbangardener #rdsinthegarden #urbangardener #lettuce #saladlover #eatyourgreens #rdnsofinstagram #functionalnutrition #nutrition #integrativenutrition #healthyeating #gardening #farmtotable #salads https://www.instagram.com/p/CH_j8CojPh9/?igshid=zll9kzwjl7jy
