The thing about picking lettuce in the summertime is that before very long at all, it looks about the way I feel…warm, wilted and weary.
But don’t despair. There is hope!
I (along with many of you, as well) have been pleasantly surprised at the “fridge life” of the lettuce varieties we are growing. If you give your lettuce a quick soak in some nice cool water, dry it off (I like to use a salad spinner) and store it in a bag in your crisper, it will be there to enjoy for several days.
