fact is, most americans take the jobs that offer the best wage for the skill set they have to offer, which is absolutely reasonable. yes, most american won't pick lettuce for $8/hr because they can make a better wage doing easier work. wouldn't you do the same? would you work for seven to eight dollars an hour doing manual - 3
they're alive!! they say that watching paint dry is tedious. watching grass grow, apparently worse. well, watching these lettuce germinate was high up in the list!! anyway, after a painful two weeks of minimal action, i came home from work the other day, and there are about twenty little sprouts in each cup that the lettuce are - 3
hi all, i've recently planted some lettuce seeds in the hopes of them sprouting into lovely plants .. perhaps i'm a little anxious, but the seeds have not yet sprouted and i'm worried it might be a bit too cold for them at the moment .. i've been keeping the growing medium moist and have kept them outside but undercover, away from - 3

cheryl isaak said: the the garden pretty much ok. the lettuce and basil look pretty sad (the lettuce leave because they are large and soft, the basil because it's so temperature sensative). i noticed the hostas in one of the huge planters downtown seem to really have caught the brunt of the hail (very exposed) and look like they've - 2
eating onions starting to flop over waiting on potatoes (soon), shell beans (ditto) longer wait, leeks, celery root and winter squash garlic harvested spring lettuce bolted, peas gone strawberries done, raspberries coming on golden beets a disappointment (so far) got to start plants for the fall lettuce and bok choy herbs available - 2
they'll pop up soon, i'd guess. mine took some couple of weeks, in the middle of winter - i.e. with night temperatures in single figures and daytime temps in the low teens. maybe not as cold or miserable as melbourne, but lettuce is a winter / cold weather crop so don't worry. - 2
