Lamb's Lettuce
On Monday I planted a row of corn salad, aka lamb's lettuce. Variety 'Vit' (I'm trying to record varieties here so that a year from now when I've forgotten what I planted, I can come back and check what varieties did well.)
It's a simple salad vegetable and is hardy unless the weather is really bad, so I should be able to crop some through the autumn (depending on how fast it comes up) I may add a second row later on to have a succession. I may possibly need to add a cloche when the weather is really bad.
I didn't plant anything today, I was feeling a bit wheezy and tired. Hopefully, I'll get something done tomorrow. Richard picked all the blackcurrants yesterday, so we'll freeze most of those. I've got some redcurrants to nibble. I love those and they cropped reasonably well. Having netting made a big difference. We got more than the birds this year!
