YEAHHH!!!! We Grew An Actual Head Of Romaine Lettuce!!!! (From Our Own Saved Seeds At That)

I don't know about you...

But I usually cut my lettuces wayyyyy before maturity. I take the tops off constantly and they just keep growing and growing, but this dude here, well, he was a little volunteer seed that must have blown over to a vacant spot. This bad boy grew all by himself in the early spring in a now-squash patch. I decided to let him grow up to his full potential and WOW.

It may not seem like a big deal to you, but to have romaine that looks like the grocery store, except it's not all pesticide ridden, with tough leaves and brown/black edging on the tips just made my YEAR.

The kids and I actually went next level too, we wrapped it up with an elastic band and put it in a produce bag to try and trick Dad ( Hive account@hendrix22 ) when he got home. He was almost fooled, except for the fact that we only have one vehicle and it would have been physically impossible for the boys and I to have gone to the store to buy romaine LOL!!

Ok, photo shoot fail...Kiedis was more interested in slingshotting an elastic into your faces...sorry...hope you don't lose an eye...I just can't tame these guys for longer than a few minutes!

Let's admire the glory of organic romaine lettuce one more time for the road...

Thank you for sharing in these small pleasures with me.

Until next time, sending out mad love and tonnes of good vibes,
