You sure do have a green thumb @zekepickleman. I am so jealous of your lettuces. I don't seem to have such good luck with lettuce here. Next year I will try a different approach, which means a completely different plot, amended soil and lots of organic matter.
You have a really awesome garden, love those strawberries!!

Coming from you, that is high praise!
For lettuce/greens, I was told the secret is to cover the bed in the winter with plastic, keep it covered in the spring so that the soil can heat up, and make it like a mound in the middle. That being said, I haven't had much luck with growing from seed. Those plants were purchased afterwards from the nursery and are doing well!
I see, mine have always been from seed, I guess it's time to go to our local grower and buy plants. And yet, humm
We already cooked a plan to change location and soil, really step it up before throwing in the towel on our own seeds. I do get a fair amount of lettuces, I just want what you have. Crap, that sounds weird, you know what I mean . hehe
Will try your tip about covering the bed, though, makes sense.
All kidding aside, your place looks so happy and healthy, nice to see.
Be well, enjoy your Saturday beer fest.
Friday turned out to be beer fest so I am ahead of the game!
hahaha love that, nothing like getting ahead start. Shoot, when I was in college, the weekend started on Thursday, Thirsty Thursday was what it was called on campus.
