| Green Leaf Lettuce |
Rain, sun, and longer days are perfect for success! My flowers are in bloom and the lady bugs have arrived! They seem to like my Green Leaf Lettuce.

| Lady Bug on my lettuce |
It is beautiful and bug free thanks to my little Lady Bug Friends. It was slug free thanks to a dry April and May.

| Green Leaf and Buttercrunch Lettuce |
Not sure why I find the Lady Bugs on the Green Leaf and not the Buttercrunch, but I will be planting more Green Leaf! I planted the above lettuce April 2, 2012, started harvesting May 18th and still harvesting. I cut the outer leafs of the green leaf lettuce and continue harvesting until it starts to go to seed. The Buttercrunch I harvest when the head is ready to pick...TASTY

| Red Sail, Green Leaf and Buttercrunch Letuce |
I always plant some lettuce in pots in early spring. If we have a wet April and May the slugs won't get to the lettuce. It is risky to put in the ground this early, although this year was dry and my lettuce I planted in the garden was slug free. I planted my pots March 30, 2012 and started harvesting April 28, 2012
