Some of you may have seen this article on the board, thought I'd post it here. Imagine of this was in your garden:

Meet the world's heaviest insect, which weighs three times more than a mouse... and eats carrots

I know I said no more pics but I wanted to show everyone a lettuce I picked just a couple of days ago called Four Seasons or Mervielle d'Quatre Saisons. It's gotten down to 25 degrees here and it came through great. Definitely a keeper.

Got what I think is the last picking of greens off the plot. If they're still good I'll strip the rest today. Hard to imagine eating fresh salad around here December 1st. Worth the effort, and I even had 'help'.:

Got to put the garlic and onions in this weekend and get the tunnel set up and clean the flats for starts next year then this boy is DONE.

Very pretty lettuce! My raised bed of various lettuces and baby greens this past year was an attractive addition to the garden.
