Well it is four weeks ago today that I gave in my resignation. It feels great until you realise there is only one more pay check and then the money stops coming in. It is getting a little scary now as reality gets closer. Came home today to find my Drunken Woman Fringed Head lettuce seeds had germinated after five days. This frilly red tinged lettuce made it into the NZ Gardener Sept 2010 for their 100 best vege picks for growing in Kiwi gardens. It seemingly likes hot summers and cold winters and is happy to reproduce when left to seed – my kind of lettuce. Given that a lettuce was $3.97 in our Countdown today my growing efforts in the garden are saving us a fair amount of money each week. Not quite saving me a weekly salary though! Hubby is starting to put in growing requests now – he would like some Cos lettuce in the garden so will have to round up some seeds and get planting.
