Everyone should grow lettuces.
Seriously.
It is EASY. We direct sowed our lettuces in early march. We've been giving them hair-cut harvests & receiving bounty since early April. I'm hoping to extend their growing season by trellising cucumbers in front of them to create shade & a cooler micro-climate.
Not only are lettuces delicious & healthy but they're lovely.
Boston bibb makes a beautiful ground-cover. Like chard & many other leafy edibles, it's a fantastic contrast with showy flowers and ornamentals. There's no reason that edibles & ornamentals should be segregated. Get creative! & then get to eat some of the fruits of your labor.
