Lettuce

This has been a cool and wet spring at One Love Farm. Seeds have been slow to germinate and seedlings slower to grow. However, cool season crops like this weather. Lettuce is a cool season crop that is doing very well.

We grow several different type of greens at One Love Farm. Romaine and Green Leaf lettuces are fairly well known to most people. Lots of people also know about the peppery green Arugula. We grow all these. But, we also use some lesser known varieties in our lettuce mixes. They include a variety called Nevada, which has a nutty flavor. We also grow a cress called Upland that is several times stronger than the peppery Arugula. We also take basil thinnings and beet greens to add flavor to our mixes. Every week we have a slightly different lettuce mix depending on what is growing that particular day.
