I could not believe how well the lettuce did — suddenly we were faced with lots and lots of beautiful romaine and we were eating big ol’ green salads just about every meal….it was the first time I’d had enough that I was calling neighbors and friends (lots of them) to come pick salads.  Other gardens of mine cranked out the trite overabundance of baseball-bat-sized zucchini that I’d shared with (pawned off on) others.  So I was pretty proud of a glut of something that people actually *liked* to receive from my garden.  I even gave giant ziplocs of mixed greens salads as part of my end-of-year gifts for my boys’ preschool teachers.
