Growing Red Romaine Lettuce
May 03, 2014 This is the first year I’ve grown Red Romaine Lettuce. It tastes GREAT !!! The leaves seem to pretty much grow straight up, and makes picking individual leaves much easier than the Green Romaine. The one “downside” if you call it that, is that the Red Romaine is not as thick as the Green, and does not crisp-up as much as the Green. The fantastic flavor of the Red MORE than makes up for it not getting as crispy as the Green. As you can see in this photo (from left to right), the Red Romaine, Green Romaine, and Spinach are all doing wonderful. A great healthy salad doesn’t get any fresher than this.
Better Boy Tomato Plants
New garden planted with 12 young tomato plants
April 15th New garden planted with 12 young tomato plants.
The plastic cover is attached to the hoops. The ends are open during the day to allow air to flow through the garden to keep it from getting too hot, and are easily closed at nighttime to protect the plants from frost or before strong storms.

Here is the first photo of our new garden we had built for season 2014. It turned out even nicer than the original one we had built last year. The arched hoops and supports are removable. This arch will be covered with plastic in the spring to protect the plants from frost and the strong Spring storms we have here, that could damage the young plants.
