The start of a new lettuce season is under way in sunny Florida. After taste testing each variety from last season, we have planted what we found to have the best taste. Pictured below is the Ruby Red, which offers a sweet taste and textured leafs. Excellent in salads.
Below is the Four Season variety. Delicious large leafs are great for adding to hamburgers and sandwiches. When fully grown, leafs have a reddish, purple spots and are slightly textured.
Harvesting takes around 45 days. Purchased from Burpee, seed grown lettuce is a great way to start an eatable garden.
After settling into the new place, cooking has gone from a once a month thing to a twice a day gathering. Everyone who comes over is always sharing some new cooking techniques.
