optimistic gardening

[redbird]

I just planted some lettuce seeds in a flowerpot, which I put next to the cucumber planter.

Optimistic, because even in garden zone 6, this is late to be planting lettuce, but the seeds arrived in the mail this afternoon. They are "Tom Thumb" lettuces, an heirloom variety that I selected because the Baker Creek website said that it makes 3- to 4-inch heads, which seemed like a good choice for container gardening.

I will hope for the best here, and maybe sow some more seeds in September or so. And then order more seeds for next spring, in case I can't get to the garden center then either.

I contemplated setting up a garden, but remembered that the only one DOING the work will be me, so....not adding that to the "plates" I'm already "spinning" this year, lol.

I hope yours grow, though!

That is a very sensible decision.

Those sound like nice little lettuces.
