Well, we got 2 1/2 feet of snow last weekend. We’re just starting to see the grass again.
But at least part of the garden is ready to go. The seedlings are coming along nicely.
I have lettuce seedings up. How much of a freeze/frost can lettuce handle?
We’re in for another 6 “ of snow midweek...
UGH!!!!!!
Enough already!!!!!
Lettuce can handle a light frost - down to 28 degrees. Otherwise, I’d cover it at night (plastic, an old sheet or towels) and take the cover off during the day, if sunny out.
A lot of it depends on variety and type. I have an iceberg type called Ice Queen that’s more cold tolerant than many iceberg types. Delicate leafy types do worse.
