Leaf lettuce tends to be a lot better if grown in partial shade , if you can get it to grow that way ), It is usually softer and more bitter , and not as crispy as store or iceberg If you grow it in cool weather , in just the right place , it is pretty good ,
Hot weather makes all the greens bitter here , I have grown smaller heads of iceberg lettuce here organically that were really good ,,
I like the spinach mustard when it is cool , mustard is generally way to hot for me to eat , I get seeds variance too , some cooler , some hotter ,,
My taste buds are still like a wine taster ,, despite my old bad habits , Like my two year old bottles of wine , kept in the fridge , Everybody decides it is a bottle of cheap shelf stuff a day or two old , Because they cannot tell the difference , They gulp it down before or when I cannot say anything ,, I stand there witting , no good bunch of boozers ,, Hilarious!
so obviously I cannot keep a good bottle of booze ,, Grumbling
Well enough of my Grumbling
practice with the greens ,, you will get better Thumbs up
In the Butterfly garden if a plant is not chewed up I feel like a failure
