A couple of weeks ago I went out to pull the last of our lettuce in the remaining 4X4 vinyl box.  This is what I was able to harvest.  Not bad for December in Utah.  The real bummer now is that we are stuck with buying produce in the grocery stores for about 4 months.  No wonder its so hard to get the kids to eat their greens after being spoiled with this for so much of the year.  And…the cost of lettuce in the wintertime!  It’s terrible!  I went into one of those organic stores yesterday to find the price of red lettuce at $2.50 each!  I guess if I wanted to be an extreme gardener I could grow throughout the winter.  So, now begins the long wait for the next growing season.  Believe it or not, we have just finished this lettuce after 2 weeks of it being harvested.  We square foot gardeners really love our lettuce, and we usually grow a lot of it.  But, how do you keep your lettuce from going bad when you end up harvesting so much?  If your anything like me, you hate throwing away food, especially that which you have grown.  I cover this topic in my new ebook which will hopefully be available soon.  I was planning on having it ready before Christmas but now I’m not sure I will make it by that date.  But, it will certainly be available in time for spring.  Its a quick read and a lot of fun.  Its really directed at square foot gardeners who might have had difficulties in the past, and also to those just looking for some additional ideas.  There are a lot of little tricks and tips in the book that I think you will find helpful.  Have any of you ever tried your hand at writing a book?  Let me tell you, it’s very difficult-at least it was for me…wishes to all for a happy holiday season and the best for the new year….[ois skin=”below post”]
