Here is the red oakleaf lettuce. See how tall it is? (The one on the right is the tallest one we have.) As it grows, I harvest just the bottom few leaves, which is why the stalk is bald. We have a bunch of lettuce plants, so harvesting just a few from the bottom of each makes for about a daily large bowl of salad!
Now here is the butternut squash I planted from that one I ate. It grows really fast and is just taking off! Steve put scraps of an old housecoat underneath it. I don't know why, but he has a BS in Agriculture/Horticulture, so I guess he knows.
I was afraid it wouldn't produce true, but it looks as if a butternut squash is what I'm gonna get!
Here's my cukes on the left and a Flamme tomato on the right...
Here's a radish outside the garden bed. Apparently it tried to escape but was thwarted by it's own root system.
