Winter sowing lettuce and spinach?
Comments (6)Lettuce and spinach are some of the earliest seeds I WS. I usually start my WSing now (last week of Jan/ first week of Feb) and I will probably do lettuce next week. If you are going to WS, you can do them now if you'd like, but you don't necessarily NEED to do them now. Mine all transplanted very well also. Can't help much with direct sowing as I don't do a lot of that. :) Dee...See Morewhat is killing my fall lettuce and spinach?
Comments (1)No reply required. I figured it out by digging around. It was cutworms. They will dine on cornmeal and Baccilus Thurengis tonight....See MoreLettuce and Spinach
Comments (6)My how things change! I've abandoned the cold frame to have the soil worked and amended, but I grew bodacious iceburg and romaine lettuce in the big planter, a new planter. They were gorgeous. And with the weather and moisture we've had I gave up on them bolting and tossed them into the rabbit hutches. They were all about 18" high. I couldn't help but notice the white juice that bled from the stalks that were torn. How nutritious! When the rabbits saw me coming with these they would jump and pounce on the side of the cage and use their teeth to swing the cage doors open. But we didn't like the flavor.. especially the kids. Even when young and tender they seemed too bitter and too aromatic. I think I have many different varieties on hand. I've always had trouble establishing meslin mix and wanted to establish that so I can try the differences. I'm assuming the cool weather creates a sweeter lettuce. Hope so....See MoreLettuce & Spinach
Comments (20)I generally just use a homemade olive oil and vinegar dressing, or sometimes add some fresh garden herbs to it. Tim is addicted to Paul Newman's Italian salad dressing. I try to go light on the dressing as I prefer to enjoy the flavors of the salad I'm eating. When we go to Fischer's meat market in Muenster, they have a huge selection of their own line of dressings in every flavor imaginable. I keep meaning to try one of their onion-flavored salad dressings, and their tomato-flavored one too....See MoreOkiedawn OK Zone 7
