I am getting lettuce and greens from my garden daily now. Love them! Makes the ones in the plastic bags in the stores look so sick. Not to mention tasteless. Lots of people like them though. I am going to do my best this year to get some started for my winter garden. You should be able to grow greens all winter in a cold frame. After all they are a cold weather crop.
