Tom Thumbs fall appearance

One if the most loved lettuces we grow is called Tom Thumb. A small head of crisp sweet lettuce, just the size for a kid to eat themselves. Sometimes without any dressing, as the lettuce is so tender. We can grow in the spring and fall but not the summer..Tom hates the heat! Winter time..not yet certain. We will grow in the hoophouse under row covers and see what we get.

Now, it looks like this, in a little while longer it will be individual heads of the prettiest shade of green..
