Lettuce Prey

[surrealestate]

So I've got a lot of lettuce growing in the garden, and I've been eating it, but it just keeps on growing, because lettuce works that way. Pretty soon it will be time to harvest it for the season. Would anyone like to swap a fresh, sweet head of lettuce for something else? Say, something from your garden or otherwise, or even something not harvest-related. :) I have romaine, red-leaf, and green-leaf.

I am also still quite open to swapping for homemade soymilk, tofu, and/or okara, which I posted about before to much interest but nobody ever actually followed up with anything concrete.

Also, I can offer homemade assorted vegetable krauts, and, relatedly, am always happy to take excess farm share items off anyone's hands. (desert_born, I need to get you yours to see if you like it. :)

And speaking of fermentation, the sparking apfelwein, recently made famous in sorbet at Baitcon, is also available.

can you trade now and wait for the payoff? It'll be a couple weeks, but I will have Juliet grape tomatoes in a couple weeks (the plants just started flowering). Or if you'll have lettuce then (the cool summer season has currently encouraged it), I'll check back in with you then ;-)

I am indeed willing to trade on futures. :)

My tomatoes are doing quite well, too, and some are now taller than me! (Granted, I'm not very tall, but still.)

still hoping I can get a mature enough tomatillo to give my plant a cross-pollinator. Also I have a massive amount of mint. The chives are doing well, too.

Mint is one crazy weed indeed.

But to be clear, that *was* a yes on the tomatoes. There can never be too many tomatoes. I swear, I could live entirely on tomatoes, garlic, basil, and bread.

My lettuce isn't growing! It seemed to be doing great for the first two weeks but then progress seemingly stopped. :(

Lettuce loves lots and lots of water because it has a very shallow root system, hence it thrived in our crazy, wet June. I've only actually watered the garden once or twice this year.

neat. also, i may be interested in a small quantity of the apfelwein (but only if my cognate-sense is working correctly, in that i think that translates to "apple wine").

It does, but it's German-style apple wine, which is very dry, as opposed to the sweet beverage one might expect from "apple wine". And it's really yummy. :) Did you not taste any when I brought some to games night?
