My red lettuce

oh gosh I must be the first? I love red lettuce. when we had a house with land I used to buy red lettuce seed and raise seedlings and have a lot of good red lettuce for yummy salads, here in California you can grow stuff almost year round specially in S outhern California. We have also bought grown plants but really they did not do as well as what we grew from seeds. alas all thats gone now. I am in this tiresome retirement center and planting days are past, sigh. also am widowed and my son is coming to see me today,highlight of my day now.

Some things we grow from seed. But our growing season is sooo short that it's easier to buy the plants. However, if we want the season to last longer then we buy plants and then also plant seeds so we have a longer time frame to pick our crops.

i like growing them from seeds, although i don't have much space so it is pretty much just herbs. although i have space for lettuce. and red lettuce sounds really nice actually.

How exciting to see things grow that you have planted. I know how proud you must be to see the little seedlings sprouting into a real head of lettuce. I wish I had the time of the space to grow a garden of my own vegetables. So, unfortunately, I am still buying vegetables that everyone have touched and squeezed and fruit flies have landed on. Yuck! just the thought makes me want to grow my own vegetables. I wish you much success with your garden.

May have a green house for them, say make a small one i n your garage or somewhere.

In my parents' home,there are many flowers before,I love them,but now my mother don't plant flowers for some reason,I bought a plant before ,then gave it to others,now I see flowers and trees out of home.

Half and half usually. Tomatoes I always buy plants. This year I bought cukes, cabbage, and broccoli plants. I planted pickle, sweet corn, onion, carrots, and bean seeds. I did not start any seedlings indoors at all this year either. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

That looks so nice, marguicha. I wish I had the room to put some stuff out this year. I would love to have some lettuce, corn, okra and tomatoes. But I rent and there isn't enough room. Don't even have the space to do any container gardening. I could put some out on my little porch but it doesn't get the sun until the evening. Good luck with your lettuce.

Hi marguicha, I love salad prepared with lettuce. Is there any other preparation of lettuce? I hope your seeds will grow. Because they got motherly touch of you.

marguicha Between you and Grandpa Bob's planting I am getting very jealous. But happy at the same time. lol.. I am going to have to make a trip by you and or he to get some lovely veggies. Gosh I love red lettuce a great deal my friend and hope you get to see a lot of it in your planting. I use to do both, the seeds and plants, gosh I miss my house so much mainly because I use to do a lot of gardening and veggie growing.
