ReplyDeleteI especially like Bibb lettuce (also called Boston Lettuce-- not sure of why, but the seeds were said to have been imported from Europe, perhaps to the port of Boston, Massachusetts, not far from where I now live). Also Romaine, but not Iceberg unless shredded over a taco.

Tried it myself once on the small balcony but the growing was just as successful. But those lettuce boats those looked quite nice too. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from the Netherlands.
