Little Things Thursday

Thankful to have home-grown lettuce in February! I planted Black-seeded Simpson Lettuce in large plastic tubs in September. I cover them with old bath towels when our temperatures drop below 40F (4C). There have been stretches of cold weather that I have had to keep them covered for several days.
Lettuce grows slowly in cold weather, but it does grow!
I have to add a lot of store-bought ingredients (peppers, peas, cheese, carrots, cucumbers, croutons, etc.) to make a salad, but picking my own lettuce makes it special. And I add canned chicken or canned tuna for enough protein to make a salad a meal.
But what I am most thankful for today is that my doctor referred me to a Diabetic Foot Care Clinic. It was a very pleasant experience, and my feet look and feel much better, but I knew you did not want to see before and after photos of my feet!
Have a blessed day!

Hello, congrats on your lettuce. Sounds easy but most of our days are below 40°.
ReplyDeleteI do love eating salads. Happy Valentine's Day! Have a happy day!
I'm glad you feel better...what a difference that can make! You have happy feet now! Happy Valentine's day!
ReplyDeleteMy feet hurt from deep cracks in the heels... I'd love to know any suggestions for healing them. Love the idea of growing lettuce in containers, so I may try that in warmer than 0 deg weather.
ReplyDeleteWow, I never saw lettuce grown during the winter. Very clever. It gets too cold where I am, to do this, though. Enjoy your delicious looking lettuce.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have that fresh lettuce. Good news about your feet! So much to be thankful for. Happy Valentines Day!
ReplyDelete...as fresh as fresh can be.
ReplyDeleteFresh lettuce - looks great!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it is possible to grow lettuce in a south facing window. I should try it!
ReplyDeleteYummy----Good For You!

Good that growing that is working out for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a special salad with your home-grown lettuce. It looks delicious. Glad you shared your details of growing lettuce in the winter.
ReplyDeleteYum! That's wonderful. Mine is growing slowly in the sunroom. In my case, I think the temperature is just right in the partially heated room, but we're just now getting to the point where the sun is strong enough for them to grow strong and tall. (I don't use grow lights.) Enjoy your lettuce! I'm enjoying my little sprouts, too. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I haven't had much success with growing veggies.
