| A super unusual summer garden plant! Lettuce in August! |
Hey! Does anyone
remember when it rained and rained and rained? Which time am I talking
about? The 4th of July was
very rainy and cool. No one got to go
swimming or watch fireworks due the days and days of storming. However, here at the farm, we did plant some
lettuce seeds and they germinated (sprouted and grew), which is usually an
impossible gardening feat in the summer.
Lettuce does not sprout very well when the temperature is in the 80’s. It will usually just stay dormant. And if you do get it to germinate or sprout
during the months that we receive 90 degree weather, the mature heads or baby
lettuce usually tastes very bitter. But
it was never terribly hot this summer, so my little 4th of July
experiment worked.
This lettuce will fill the boxes of our very lucky CSA members this week!
