I think lettuces are quite durable, but it will be an interesting experiment to see how low they will be able to take the temperatures dropping down to!HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7485248345006754419.post-12168460631792784372012-12-11T06:59:04.065-08:002012-12-11T06:59:04.065-08:00Very nice!
