I grow other cutting greens like mizuna and baby pac choi to add some variety to the salads.<br /><br />The Pineapple Express side swiped us the weekend before last and dropped a couple of inches of rain.

Picking leaves from different varieties adds some variety to the salads. I was wondering if you were getting rain. A lot of our storms have originated off the Pacific (the Pineapple Express), traveled cross country, then hit our cold air.David Veltenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07710293718143454000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-85360340384977455062015-02-17T08:50:43.706-08:002015-02-17T08:50:43.706-08:00Love your lettuces, I've never been able to gr...Love your lettuces, I've never been able to grow a head of lettuce, someday I'll get the timing right!<br />Right now our day temps are in the 50s-60s, night temps in 20s-30s.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08837486464329151966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439775590468820468.post-72232923278374629442015-02-16T19:16:17.515-08:002015-02-16T19:16:17.515-08:00The lettuces look spectacular.

From Vancouver where I grew up (where weather is pretty mild) to Ottawa where I now live that has have extremes of temperature (up to -35C in winter to +35C in summer).

Those are beautiful turnips, and it looks like the lettuce cleaned up nicely. I'm going to try some baby turnips as a spring crop here.
