SALAD ANYONE???





Salanova Lettuce

 We've been looking at this new line of salad mixes from our friends at Johnnys' seed.  It might be a tad on the expensive side to produce the first crop, since we would have to buy "floating row covers" to protect it from insects and hungry Bunnies!!!  And, the seed is not cheap!   Molly does a great job of warning us, but she does need her beauty sleep, and the "garden" is a bit on the big side. 

This might be a good mix for the farmers market, and I'm sure the food pantry programs would love something this early in the season.  (Most salad crops are cool weather/late spring to mid summer.)   Us bears would have to start with about 800 plants grown in flats and transplanted to the garden to make it worth doing.  But a crop failure would be disastrous!  I'd never get the bears to try something that takes so much free labor again!  Any thoughts???  Blu Bear
