I had a question yesterday about how to harvest lettuce so here is what I found. This is what I told the young gardener. I have several varieties of lettuce in containers so you can take home transplant, eat right away and have fresh garden lettuce. I took one home and will have fresh lettuce today for our evening meal. I have put in a recipe of a dressing like my mom used to make. See what you think do you remember it? How do you fix your fresh lettuce?
How to Harvest Leaf Lettuce
1- 5 ounce can evaporated milk 1/4 cup cider vinegar 4 1/2 tsp white sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1/8 tsp black pepper Whisk the evaporated milk, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper together in a bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Chill until ready to use. Till next time, this is Becky Litterer, from Becky's Greeenhouse, Dougherty Iowa Enjoy this great Memorial Day weekend...

Mother would make a dressing using equal amounts of cream (I use sour cream) sugar and vinegar with some salt and pepper. For a family of 4 I would use 2 large T. of each.

Excellent advice. All I can add is wash, wash, and wash the lettuce. Fresh lettuce is wonderful but the local bugs thinks so too!
