Some lettuce that I grew that came back from the seed of the lettuce the year before! Did you know you can just let a couple go to seed, and you will have lettuce year after year.

We do the same with our tomatoes. We don't have much luck with lettuce. The weather's too unpredictable in winter and it has a very bad habit of becoming 'summer' overnight! LOL!

Don't know if you've grown any herbs, but a couple of things I've learned is that rosemary makes a lovely bush suitable for landscaping and herbs like dill and mint shouldn't be planted anywhere you don't want them to take over....they're masters of self-propigation!

Oh,,, and if you plant oregano, I'd suggest the Mediterranean variety. It's a much hardier plant than some of the others.

Glad to hear from you again, teeny! I, for one, DID wonder where you'd gone, but there are quite a few of us 'oldtimers' who have left or just don't post all that much anymore.
