Regular readers here may remember my lamentations over the lack of a lettuce crop. Well it turns out we could have lettuce after all.

I needed to pot up a large plant a couple weekends ago that was a gift. Being out of potting soil and not wanting to go shopping, I decided to “borrow” some of the best soil I have. The corner of the garden that was devoted to the lettuce was bare so I took a few spadefuls of dirt from there to top off the pot. When I checked the pot this morning, I saw several little lettuce plants were thriving. I guess the seeds must have been planted too low originally or something. Luckily the pot they are in now is probably large enough to hold them.
