Store lettuce in the refrigerator, not with your canned goods for several days in a row.

Had a patch of lettuce in the back yard. Doesn't like heat waves, but you can't beat it compared to store-bought.

Tried to plant a second crop, but the grasshoppers had other plans. Will have to put up a net or something.

Local Produce Good

As an apartment dweller without a balcony, a garden isn't an option for me (well, also, I am not the gardening type, as I know from those years when I had the opportunity), but as a Canadian living in a climate when local fruits and vegetables are very far away from a year-round thing, the difference between, say, peaches picked an hour away and those picked more or less green and shipped from, say, California (no offence), is a wonder to behold!
