That lettuce looks good! I have got to ask my hubby to build me a or two of these coldframes. Did you catch the vole yet?

Thomas, I have not noticed any bitterness in our lettuce. It could be the varieties I grow. Hard to say, really, why yours is. Ours has been frozen several times, and that hasn’t seemed to make it bitter. Of course it doesn’t make it sweeter either, like it does kale and other greens. There are so many variables in growing veggies that it is always a challenge!

Your winter greens look great! I love the color of that pak choi. Have you tasted you lettuce lately? I’m finding that my winter lettuce is tasting awfully bitter. Do you know if they will become palatable again when the weather warms up?

Those carrots sound yummy! We really don’t need greenhouses in our climate. I admire those who go to such trouble to grow these beautiful vegetables. I confess I am a lazy gardener. I could be growing lots of cool season veggies outside in my garden right now, but I don’t because I enjoy a couple months off. But seeing your lettuces reminds me that I definitely want to plant some next month.

How wonderful that you can enjoy pak choi in the middle of winter from your own garden :^)
