Bustersfriend's Lettuce Grow garden

Created on Wednesday, 10 Sep 08

After harvesting my own fresh produce at a friend’s place, I decided to turn part of my front yard into an edible garden. I started off with an East-West mix, and the Burgundy Aramanth took off, by leaps and bounds, to the point of crowding out the other seeds that were in the pack. The Aramanth, I’ve since learned, is a heat loving plant that is more nutritious than spinach.
