Lettuce garden

Here's my lettuce garden (actually, this section of the garden belongs to my eight-year-old daughter, Annabelle). I have a mesclun mix in the back, then a row of bibb lettuce, some lovely spinach, and some arugula that we've already sampled. I like to let my salad greens grow a little more before I thin them--then I can eat the ones I thin out as baby greens--yum!

This romaine head is a volunteer in the location where I planted it last year. I didn't plant any this year and now I'm regretting it because this one looks so lovely (and lonely). Oh well, it's almost never too late to plant more lettuce...
