Ok, so I'm soooo bad. I am not going to be planting every seed from every packet, cuz, that would just be insane. I don't have but one section of yard dug up & ready to plant in. But.. I decided I wanted to try growing lettuce. I got a seed packet, black seeded simpson. Never heard of it.. I used to be an iceburg lettuce girl, and lately, I like the romaine. Of course, I've never grown any kind of veggie before, so that doesn't matter. I just mean, I've not heard of this kind of lettuce. Is it good? I didn't see any romaine lettuce seeds, and I didn't want iceburg..so this is what I got.

Hmmm.. gonna put it out now, while it's just starting to rain, and it's a bit chilly. I hope that when the weather warms back up a bit, that it doesn't kill it off.

Hey Katb,

Thanks for the assurance that it's good. This is my first time trying to veggie garden, and gosh, I hope I'm not in over my head.

I see you're in WV.. so am I. What area? I'm in the eastern panhandle, right where MD, VA, and WV come together. Here, I'm in zone 6, but really close to zone 7.

That is one of my favorite kinds..
Very tasty, good solid leaf and texture..
*I used to eat ice berg, but it's too watery
and no roughage..*

I love it on sandwiches with fresh tomatoes and cucumbers and Hellman's Mayo!!!

And I love to eat it with vinegar *and ours is kept and aged a long time so it's really vinegary*
and then I like sea salt on it..*it's the bigger hunks of salt* Kinda tasty if I do say so myself.
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM~
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Mmmm.. ya'll are makin me hungry!

Hey, to top off my seeds of recent buying with no room to plant...

I ordered burpless cucumbers, danvers carrots, and brandywine tomatoes. I must be or something.

I am finally starting to plant stuff. A little at a time. My broccoli's been doing ok outside, and when I got my carrot seeds in the mail today, I read they like to be grown a little cooler.. so I put them right out. I also got one of my barrels readied, and have potatoes in. I'll do the other barrel, maybe tomorrow. Still need to drill another drainage hole or 2. And of course, I put out some lettuce seeds a few days ago. No signs of anything from that yet, but hopefully, soon.
