It is Boxing Day. I love Boxing Day as it means there is a whole year before Christmas bowls back again. I have no idea where this year has gone. It only seems a few weeks ago I posted I would be pleased to see 2016 roll around as all station's year rainfall would be correct again. .... and yep you guessed it, I will be happy to see 2017 for the same reason  Cheers to all and I wish you all the bestest and greatest for 2017 Write a Comment:Sorry, you must be logged in to post a comment! |

HAHA @PaulMy - lettuce for the kitchen others are for medicinal use!! LOL! @JennyLeez - what a huge back garden area ... what are you going to do when all the lettuces grow full at the same time? Oh and the side fence could do with some paint too ... LOL!

@PaulMy
Gee you would need a lot leaves to make a half decent salad from those plants.
No my lettuces are nothing like that
@TokWW
No it is not so bad, they start to turn yellow from the bottom up slowly. I hasten this by picking, placing in dark and high temp (6 days).
Once yellow I hang them in high humidity and temp until brown (6 days). Needless to say I have a weather station in my Garage which is now not a garage
Once brown they are air dried for a couple of months and then boxed for 1 year. So these lettuces below are for my salads in the year 2020
Look at the growth in 12 days. Thats what sun in the morning and rain in the afternoon does. They love it. The only draw back is I am spending a lot of time removing the laterals and it is back breaking

Isn't that the process for tobacco plants to dried tobacco for smoking - Aha! Now I get it, why @PaulMy was sharing the other smoked product. All for personal use only! They are huge though!! (Dummy me!)

I was not very clear; it is not let us grow but let us use... 
Using it became legal in October and many small and large industrial growing and processing operations have sprung up. But the legal end-user distribution network hasn't kept pace yet.Jenny's garden would fit in well in that booming business.
Enjoy,
Paul

After a week of temps in the low 30°C ( 86°F - 91.4°F ) and sprinklers going around the clock my lettuces are doing great.
As you see they are planted ways to close together which in themselves does not matter. But it sure is a mission taking off the laterals and flower buds. I end up a sticky mess and in the shower once done. These leaves are sugar saturated.
My pride in this years grow is slowly turning to anguish with the daunting task of having to harvest it all
