A Day In The Life - 01/21/2011: There's A Snake In My Garden

When I was preparing to plant this garden I purchased some new varieties of plants. One of the new ones was some different types of lettuce. What I ended up with was this lettuce which is very tasty but looks like no other lettuce I have ever seen. It grows almost like a vine and as you keep picking the leaves the "vine" gets longer and longer until the plant finally goes to seed. But as you can see, they just wind around like snakes in the garden. I will do those again because they are so much fun.
And now I go to pull the seedy things out because the leaves are beginning to get sour as they go to seed.
