My Fall lettuce that overwintered. It's either Tennis Ball or Little Gem. They were right next to each other and plant markers got uprooted and moved by Spring. Leaves look like Tennis Ball judging from pics I see online. It's a little darker green than the pic but still a little on the light side so I fertilized them. One on the right looks ready to bolt instead of head but the other two are forming heads. I have no idea what 6-7 month old, overwintered lettuce will be like but will find out.

Plastic smoothed out quite nicely. Will be nice to get back to working on it.

Your Hoop House looks great! Bonus lettuces, to boot! :)

That’s just beautiful. All of your post! I’m still catching up on the thread, but I tend to read what I’ve missed.

Got my maters and peppers in the ground yesterday, technically before May. Not early but not late for these parts. Next year's schedule should look something like this with some alternate hardy choices and peppers added.

Didn't realize I had a tunnel tomato growing guide specifically for Ctrl MO. Just renamed it to reflect that. It's pretty in depth and technical.

Boss smiled and shook his head yesterday. "You're pickin' this shit up quick."
