So after i grew out the second generation of spindally lettuce a grow and breed in a clandestine fashion, i collected a few choice plants from the outside garden to boost indoors.

First is a really cool purple kale that does not do very well in the outdoor garden. The green variety I have previously logged outdoors does do a little better against the crickets and other bugs.. but when the slugs come to eat, a flourishing purple kale will end up on deaths bed by the morning.
