Cool.

My leaf lettuce is getting huge/tall and it’s going to be sunny and close to 90 for a few days. Don’t know how they’ll fair. I snipped some this morning but I just grew too much or should have done succession planting. That would have been a little much added to starting 20 different types of seeds, experimenting with making potting soil, potting up, hardening off, planting out, dealing with heat mats and grow lights, most of it for the first time ever.

I had originally planned on giving a lot of starts away but the person ended up not wanting them. Did give away four tomato plants.

Ice Queen lettuce is getting close to forming heads but they look like each plant would make a nice salad at the size they’re at. About the size as when they sell whole Salanova.

I’ll probably start more lettuce soon in pots in a spot that gets afternoon shade. Will try to grow some all summer to go with the coming maters. Same with Tokyo turnips.

One Komatsuna has gone to flowering and I’m thinking the rest might bolt too this week. It’s the wiltiest thing in the garden when it gets warm. If I see a few more looking like they’re headed that way, I’ll pull all except one. I’m thinking the last one to bolt would be the one to save seed from. Most heat resistant.
