Lettuce Lesson
Okay, I’ve learnt my lesson - the hard way.
After all that lovely - but heavy - rain, I wandered outside the other morning to see my beautiful bountiful lettuce had been massacred by the rain. There are still some okay leaves, but a lot were pulverised into the soil, leaving me to wait for new ones to grow.
We do have a piece of shade-cloth that fits over the cage, but I left it off thinking it was good to get the rain onto all the plants, plus the fact there wasn’t much sun… but next time a heavy rain storm hits, I’ll be out there to throw it over and protect my poor vulnerable lettuce!
