This next Lettuce is a red Lettuce called Bijou, its the first time I've grow this one do am looking forward to seeing how it does.
I'm also growing a couple of different kinds of salad leaves, one is a Spicey Greens mix and the other is Salad Rocket.
They have become very popular recently and although they don't appeal to me the lady of the house likes them so I thought it might be a good idea to grow some.
In the greenhouse I have some Webbs Wonderful coming on, this is still my favourite lettuce, very old fashioned these days I know but still lovely and crisp all the same. A couple of inches of this between two slices of bread and maybe a little salad cream and you have a proper lettuce sandwich - something to sink my tooth in to!
Whatever sort of lettuce you grow the secret is to sow them little and often. In a few days I will do a post on how I sow my lettuce so pop back and take a look if you're insterested.

How cool. I've also done this in the past growing different varieties of salad greens. It can be a lot of fun trying the different ones out and mixing them together to make for a more interesting looking salad.:)
Hope you're having a great day.

Hi UKBob I'm here via Red Clover's blog - I just read the comments about washing spades - good job you can't see mine!!
I like the red lettuce - I'm not a great fan of lettuce to eat but I like the look of it growing!
