Veg plot 2021: More winter lettuces bite the dust

We had a quick trip out to the greenhouse and polytunnel this afternoon to scavenge what fresh coriander leaves we could to use for making salsa and guacamole to go with our fajitas this evening. I noticed that sadly a few more lettuces appear to have given up the fight to get through the winter. At least three of the Webbs Wonderful were looking very sorry for themselves and whilst I’ll leave them a few more days I don’t think that’s going to make much difference to the outcome.

Such is life. As I’ve pointed out before these were just random varieties that I had left over from the summer and may well be unsuited to cold, low-light conditions. Hopefully as daylight hours start to pick up the rest will spring back into life and provide us with decent harvests until we have plants sown this year that are producing a harvest.
