Reading this today Pesticide Residue inspired me to keep going with growing some of my own vegetables. Arriving home from work today I found my two lettuce seedlings that I had re-potted and brought inside at the weekend had tripled in size just in three days! I have about another twenty seedlings outside that have started growing in last season’s pots that I never emptied out. I let my last lettuce of the season bolt and obviously it bolted all over the place and I now get to reap the results pretty much free of charge other than some potting mix and weekly feeding and some labour. The frost has been pretty severe the last few weeks involving lots of cold mornings defrosting the van windows but the lettuces seem fine with it all. Now that my lettuces have inspired me I think I might start sowing some pea seeds this weekend as well to plant out at some point in August.
