So tell me more about indoor lettuce :) seems like it needs a blog post all its own!

Hi Dave, thanks for stopping by! Well, we are buying lettuce during the summer months and we don't like how tough they are... we figured Lettuces enjoy cool weather, and indoors is cooler than outdoors during summer months, so we are experimenting with growing lettuces indoors. It was just one "head" if you can call it a head...hehe... It sort of bolted towards the end, but the leaves were tender! My Mom wants to try to grow more next summer, so currently Tim (hubby) is making a larger window sill to accomodate the pots. It's the kitchen window and it gets a good dose of morning sun and stays cool in the afternoon.
