Luscious lettuce!

I have to brag about how nice my salad bowl lettuce is this season. I think I can attribute this to two things that make it so. One is the raised beds that have no contact with the ground so no chance of little creatures from the ground. And the other is the addition of the mosquito netting on the cage that surrounds the lettuce as you can see from the picture. This netting I bought from Amazon and I like it because I can see through it and it look really pretty when the sunlight hits it. There are no white flies which have been a problem in the past. From what I have heard even if they do get in there the white netting actually blinds them so they don’t stay. I am not sure if that is true but they aren’t there!

    It must have had a perfect environment for growth. Looks great!

    Thanks Charleen, I did but they are a work in progress. I’m trying to get the garden as much of a “no work” garden as possible and pesticide free. I think everyone should have the option to garden and if you have to bend down to the ground to garden then the elderly and other disabled people won’t be able to do it.
