Plans for Fall Crops Announced
While it's not even August yet, the Backyard Granger is making preparations for sowing a fall crop. Seeds for radishes, beets, and spinach should be arriving shortly. Having never done anything like this but knowing that fall crops like cool weather, we'll try to sow a few seeds during the first week of August and then repeat the process every week or so until the seed runs out.
Pictured is a head of bibb lettuce, which, all things considered, was my favorite plant grown in the grange thus far. Sown indoors sometime in mid-march and moved outside about a month later, this plant yield several servings before succumbing to the heat sometime in mid-June. We loved ye like a brother and you will be missed. Godspeed, bibb lettuce.

A few Haiku's (俳句) for you and your dead Bib Lettuce:
Butterhead or Bibb
No matter the name you choose
Always remembered
Lettuce; breed of Bibb
Preferred by Kiki and Ted
Tasty salad friend
Please keep the haiku's coming! The best ones will make the end of the year retrospective post.
