My sense of smell is so scute that I can smell things just from pictures.

These pics I can smell the fresh.

I commonly can smell bakery items from pictures. Like birthday cake, Cinnabon, brownies.

I can smell bubble gum just by thinking of it.

I have another week before mine is big enough to eat. But it's looking nice so far. Our weather has been cool so far and all my planning for our now normal scorching early summer are defeating me to some degree in that my plants are slow to grow without the heat I was anticipating. They are healthier so I am not disappointed, too much. Just a little impatient.

I have a second row going that’s about 2 weeks behind this one. I hope we don’t get miserable heat next couple weeks.

Hope you are enjoying yours soon!

You could open a shop with this high quality lettuce, and the variety too!

Just gorgeous.

A salad sandwich without lettuce is a disappointment. The photos exude crunchly goodness. Cheers

I only grow ours from starters. Lots of Romaine this year. Apparently happy with cloudy conditions.

I’m not sure which is which, since my hubby is the planter! Whatever the source, they do seem to like the cooler weather we’ve had this year.
