Too hot to grow our our lettuce in Georgia.

ALDI Little Salad Bar, Giant Eagle, Hy-Vee, Jewel-Osco Signature Farms, ShopRite Wholesome Pantry, and Walmart Marketside.

A lot of these are the “organic” labels of these stores...I guess maybe a little too organic?

[Bell Bouy II]

What is so difficult about making your own salad fresh daily.

Peeps are so frigen lazy

[jerod]

All the worms are ‘free’ range.

[Old Yeller]

Crap. We ate a bag of the Wal-Mart Marketside the other day. Still had another bag in the refrigerator. Threw it all away just now.

We grow plenty here in Arizona. There's different kinds, and different seasons. When I lived in Georgia, the best local products began with P: pecans, peanuts, pork.

Mine from Weis Market is Z197 A05A, Sweet Buttercrunch Lettuce. I’m pitching it anyway.

If this was in north Korea the worms would be 2 feel long.

[EEGator]

Well, human feces is organic...

I use an Ozone generator purpose made for this sort of thing,
and bubble ozone through my bagged salad and produce.
I don’t know if it also kills parasites

(Use with plenty of ventilation.)

I’ve got Trader Joe’s Cobb Salad and Caesar Salad mixes but they’re in a plastic container not a bag. Does that count?

[Dacula]

I just bought two backs the other day. I think I will them back.

[madison10]

We get Aldi Little Salad Bar all the time, fortunately not in our states. (OH & MI)

[PIF]

Never liked the idea of vegies in plastic bags on store shelves. Now more reason then ever to avoid the “convenience” and get vegies whole from the produce section.

I am glad I just happened upon this article. I was outside playing in my garden and decided to come in and take a break to cool down.

I hope that it saves someone from getting sick or possibly dying.

[HighSierra5]

If I wear a mask will that help?

[Carriage Hill]

Good idea. Not worth taking any chances.

Get some Metamucil ‘Premium Blend’ to help “loosen the springs” until they get the Mexican pickers some porta-potties, so they stop pooping/peeing in the growing fields.

Only if the worms are also wearing Masks.
