Lettuce, carrots, and onions!

The lettuce has been surprising. The "Rouge d'Hiver" has an iridescent sheen that I've never seen in grocery-store lettuce.


It's almost too pretty to eat.


The "Amish Deer Tongue" lettuce hasn't been growing as quickly as the Rouge d'Hiver. I planted both types to see which one would do better. 

 It's interesting that the Amish Deer Tongue lettuce does taste quite different from the Rouge d'Hiver.


 The onions are coming coming along too, but quite slowly.
