I did read that if you have bitter lettuce you can cut it, wash it and store it in the fridge for a few days and most of the bitter flavor will go away...might have to try that. I will let you know if it works.
Ya Win Some, Ya Lose Some
Today Lissa had to pull a huge pile of baby bibb lettuce. It was a rough day at King Gardens! The lettuce looked beautiful, it was growing steadily and was just about perfect for the picking...then we tasted it.
The lettuce was bitter and almost chewy. The last few days have been so warm; the intense heat as well as our soil being fairly nitrogen rich ruined the lettuce. Not to worry we planted a lot more lettuce and the other varieties have done a lot better. We will chalk this one up to a lesson learned and live to farm another day.
