Hi Ladies :)


Just wondering if any of you have veggie gardens and can answer a question for me.


We have lettuce coming up right now and I cut some last night and it was kind of bitter.  Do you know if I should have cut it when it was shorter or did it not get a chance to grow long enough?  (Does that make sense??  lol)  This is our first year with the veggie garden, so I thought I'd ask and see if there is an "expert" out there who can help me :)


Thanks!!

Morning amber


It might be the typeof lettace you grew. when i was on the farm we had bitter lettace. my MIL made a cream dressing to go on it.


Here is what i got from googling
