We used to grow them when my boys were small. Red Pontiac. Over the years our garden has gotten smaller and smaller.

However this year we just got 63 lettuce plants in the ground. Good thing, because it’s supposed to rain all next week. A combination of red leaf, green leaf, and green romaine.

8 tomato plants are ready to go in as well, but who knows when that will happen. In between the raindrops some time.
