I've been enjoying this lettuce this year(so have a few critters). Italianiescher from territorial seed. Grown from seed, planted about 8 weeks ago. It grows big and tastes great.

Looks like a good plant to have in the lettuce patch. Gonna get some seeds and try it.
The fresh greens out of the garden are hard to beat this time of year, puts anything in a supermarket to shame.
We are now on the SOS program 4-5 days a week, with side salads the other days.
Something on Salad...it is a great dinner program during the work week.

That has been on my to try list many times. Growing Freckles and have been saving seed from flashy troutsback and grandpa Admires for a lot of years
I've got a cool red romaine called truchas growing nicely right now too
Greens harvested same day from the garden are completely different vegetables than those bought at a grocery store. So much sweeter and tastier. We love a big salad with some kind of protein on it for dinner, especially weeknights. In fact, that head of lettuce will get some grilled salmon and other goodies for dinner tonight.

Noticed packs of 25-50 plastic row markers/plant label stakes are like 8-10$! So I went looking for an alternative. 500 taster spoons for around $3.50. I took some cutters and sniped them off to points but you don't even have to do that.

In terms of gardening I am not built to be a conventional yard and garden guy. Sure i did the lawn thing edging raking out clover and fell in love with growing plants saving seed always organic since being inspired by the diy gardening philosophy over the 70’s Mother Earth News schtick. I have had to forego much of what i have done in the past with bed springs for trellises and the make do to just get the stuff growing. Porter2 that is so nice, orderly and beautiful. After all these years of playing outside in the dirt wherever i have lived has looked like a never ending work in progress fueled by my imaginings.
Put my tomatoes under the eaves while I was out of town as it looked like it was going to be wet.
They about doubled in size. Basil and cilantro is starting to do their thing.

Planted a lot of parsley basil and cilantro this year. We use more than i grow usually. Not this year. I will be drying a bunch. I grow Genovese, Mammoth leaf( lettuce leaf type) and large leaf Italian, curly and flat leaf parsley and a run of the mill cilantro that i let go last year to harvest coriander seed and planted a bunch in the newly built greenhouse
I let my cilantro go to seed last year to harvest, toast, and grind to have some incredible coriander for cooking!
First real berry harvest of the year. Saw a tiny green hopper out too, yippee.
