Thankful Thursday and Little Things Thursday

Black-seeded Simpson Lettuce, Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, October 27, 2018
I am thankful for a slow, drizzling rain - very good for my lettuce!

I sowed lettuce seeds in September, but the weather was so hot and dry that they barely grew. But now with rain, I am more hopeful of picking my own lettuce for my salads. I am growing them in large plastic tubs to make it easier to cover them for protection from frost.

Have a blessed day!

  5. I wonder if I could grow lettuce inside this winter. I miss having fresh lettuce for my salads, but it gets cold and snowy where I live.

  6. Oh, there's nothing better than fresh lettuce. One time in the Fall...I picked some thinking they were greens and cooked them. hahaha! Tasted pretty good too! lol

  7. I wonder if I could grow them inside in front of a south window. It is worth trying I think.

  10. Oooo, that looks tasty! I started some lettuce in the sunroom the other day. I'm looking forward to seeing the seeds sprout. Usually, I start them in a coldframe outside, but I wanted to try the sunroom so I won't have to go out into the cold to get my salad fixings. LOL.
