Wish I did, 'cuz we have a bumper crop of lettuce this year! You can get it to last for up to two weeks if you wash it as soon as you pick it, remove any wilted/damaged leaves, then seal in a ziploc baggie or plastic storage container with a damp paper towel. Lettuce likes 100% humidity. Crazy how it can freeze when it's in the garden, but if you freeze it once it's picked it turns to mush. <br />Anke - wish I could say that I love spinach! I really don't care for it except for raw, but I can at least force it down if I need to. :oP For as much as I garden, there are very few vegetables I actually enjoy eating.

I love how ...The lettuce is definitely gorgeous! <br /><br />I love how you're saving the spinach. What perfect portions. Maybe I'll grow spinach next year with enough to save in mind. It's hard to grow lettuce - you can only have so many salads. Do you have any tricks for saving lettuce??Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232693432045335251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742181923651451932.post-91131463448709594972010-05-13T06:03:54.239-07:002010-05-13T06:03:54.239-07:00I love spinach!
