Zone Three Gardening: Lettuce self seeded last year
I have never had my lettuce ready mid June, and certainly not such an abundance, and not such large leafy clusters ready for the Spring harvest! There is about three times this much in my garden that self seeded and got a lovely early start. Hmmm…. does that mean I should seed in the fall?
What bounty! This is my absolute favourite dressing for these tender leaves, and a heritage prairie recipe.
What have you been harvesting already?
Valerie, it’s so good to be able to harvest your own vegetables, isn’t it! Love your lettuce. Wish it was summer here too.
Lizzy!
The only problem I have is too much at once. Who can complain about walking out of the house to this splendor! I just don’t want any to go to waste!

Oh Valerie, these look wonderful!! So lush and fresh and vibrant. 🙂 We’re in the middle of winter here in Australia, but I’m still harvesting herbs – rosemary, sage, mint, parsley and even a few hardy bits of basil. 🙂
Your lettuce looks terrific, and so does your 5 metre dressing recipe! Don’t you love the abundance of produce at this time of year?
If that’s your harvest I would let the lettuce make the decisions for you all the time!
