The night-time temps are still giving big cause for concern, but the worst thing is the seemingly never-ending wind. Fortunately Lettuce seems to do quite well in cooler conditions. I am growing several different varieties so that they don't all mature at the same time.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-78816460424487298162015-05-11T12:47:55.943-04:002015-05-11T12:47:55.943-04:00Those lettuce seedlings look amazing!

I was just commenting that everything in my garden is moving at a snails pace it seems - and that includes my indoor brassica & seedlings, which is doubly strange. Like you, my garlic & fall sown shallots have shot up and are about the only thing doing really well right now.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-3186641446104648472015-05-11T07:05:53.342-04:002015-05-11T07:05:53.342-04:00LOL, I vote for red ... the brighter colour always...LOL, I vote for red ... the brighter colour always makes everything look perkier.

We had warmer weather in January! Those lettuces do look great. I've had a hard time getting my second round of them to germinate. And the garlic looks fabulous, so much prettier than my rust infested specimens.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125578595363888138.post-51840048065297316642015-05-10T13:13:06.580-04:002015-05-10T13:13:06.580-04:00Those lettuce look really nice.
