----- COMMENT: AUTHOR: DATE:11/14/2008 12:39:00 PM We planted mixed greens Labor Day weekend and are still able to snip a few leaves from the same plants. They're getting a little tall at this point, so with a warm spell on the way, I may try plant a few more. No way will I tare out the old plants though - each leaf has been absolutely delicious! We're going to enjoy them till the very end. ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR: DATE:11/14/2008 07:18:00 PM I love the idea of growing your own lettuce. Something homemade from scratch is always the best, no question about that! I love your blog name too; it's everything that I will possibly ever need in my life LOL. ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR: DATE:11/14/2008 08:30:00 PM I think your garden has the perfect set-up for fall crops -- somewhat protected from the cold and wind, but still sunny. I'm so jealous of your beautiful harvest! ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR: DATE:11/14/2008 09:23:00 PM I am with you. Salad greens do so much better in our climes in the fall. I have been eating fresh mesclun in huge quantities for weeks now (it's on the menu once a day - sometimes twice)... and hopefully will continue to do until a really hard frost - maybe in early December? after that, I should still be able to get a couple of salads every weeks.
