It was so nice today to finally have some sunny, warm weather. It is starting to feel more like spring. I’ve been hardening off the lettuce plants this week and planted them today. Last year this red leaf lettuce did very well — it grew great, was tender and sweet. The only real problem was the number of slugs who seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. It was a pain to pick them off, and there was always the fear that one would sneak through and provide an unwelcome tasty morsel in the salad! This year I’m going to try using copper collars to keep the buggers off.
