Hi I have Cherry Belle White Icicle Radish seed if you are interested. Dale

The way I plant lends it self to the way I pick lettuce. I use about a two gallons of compost. I then add a packet of seed into the compost in a five gallon bucket and thoroughly shake the compost and seed for even distribution. I then distribute the compost/seed mixture evenly over the about a six square foot area. When the seed starts germinating, some seeds seem stronger than others. They grow at a faster rate. The compost/seed blanket eventually looks like a blanket of small lettuce plants. I start harvesting the entire plants when it appears two or three plants will make a salad for two people when you throw enough other stuff into it from the garden. By harvesting this way, it makes room for the still small plants to grow and I have a continuous supply of lettuce. I also grow my lettuce and carrots underneath my tent shaped cucumber/squash trellis. With lettuce shaded by the cucumber vines and sqush plants, it delays bolting giving me more time to consume the lettuce. Just my way of doing things. Ted

Hi, I notice you have '5 spot' on your trade list. I would gladly trade some 'Merveille Des Quartre Seasons lettuce for your '5 spot'. If you are interested, please email me directly at kwyet1@hotmail.com

Bad genetics in that plant -- your others look great. What variety did you grow? I have never gotten off types in hybrid BS seeds, but with an OP variety from a major seed company, I grew out one plant that turned out to be a rutabaga, and another that looks like a B sprout but has a naked stalk, no buds at all.
