Lettuce - The Second Time Around


Until recently, I didn't realize that you could harvest lettuce once and it will grow back for a second time. 

The photo above shows a lettuce plant that we've already harvested once. It's well on it's way to a 2nd harvest.

Like many things in gardening, we'll continue to learn as you gain more experience.


The second photo shows a portion of our current lettuce crop that was harvested for a lunch time meal a couple of weeks ago and now it's growing back for a second time. 

Since lettuce is primarily a cool weather crop in my area because summers get quite hot and humid, I'm not sure we'll get a third harvest from these same lettuce seeds.  I guess time will tell.
