Hello Readers! Picchu Piggyfriend here. We are sorry that we have been unable to post anything for a while but Slave's camera broke down. The lens cover would not open and, due to the nasty virus that is chasing after humans in the outside world, all the non-essential shops have been closed since March. Luckily for us, that did not include food shops and we have been amply supplied with veggies.
Slave was unable to take her camera to the repair shop. Now some shops have been allowed to reopen and we are in business again. We are starting up our Piggy A-Z again with L is for Lettuce.
You may remember our lettuce seedlings growing in our conservatory earlier in the year. Now they are growing outside and you can see some of them here.
Our garden suffers from rabbits, who sneak in and eat Slave's produce so she is growing our lettuces in boxes on shelves that are out of reach of nasty thieves.
These lettuces are called Salad Bowl and Slave can pick some leaves every day for us and new leaves grow in their place. What a good idea.
Our parsley, that you saw in our earlier post, is thriving outside in big pots and continues to keep us in tasty treats.
Those lettuces do look delectable, and we're glad to hear you have found a way to protect them from those nasty rabbits.
ReplyDeleteThe Prairie Pigs are big fans of lettuce also; in fact we have a special song that we like to sing when the breakfast salads are served in the morning --- "Come, Lettuce! Be Joyful!"
Love it Auntie Pat!
