That is good, but extravagant. Did you notice a difference between this and your others grown normally?
I should show you my lettuce. They are beautiful, also unmarked, with red, cos and butterheads, also French Reine de Glace. You can't really notice the little blue things under the leaves.

I thought I should 'put my money where my mouth is', and I rushed out in the bad light and took a picture of the lettuce and my photos wouldn't load on to the computer. In fact, it broke down completely, but husband got it going in safe mode this morning. I am frightened to put any photos on now. Actually, my husband won't let me put them on. You will just need to believe that the cos is nearly one foot high and we have been eating the red and butterheads. They are some of the best I have grown.

I usually snap mine off just before they get to a foot high Cherry, I find they get bitter when running to seed ;D
