🥬 With the recent lettuce recall making headlines, we’re curious…

Has it inspired you to grow your own lettuce this season?

There’s something satisfying about stepping outside and harvesting fresh, crisp greens straight from the garden. Whether you’re growing a few containers on the patio or rows in a raised bed, we’d love to hear your experience!

🌱 Are you growing lettuce this year?
📸 Share a photo of your lettuce (or your favorite leafy greens) in the comments and let us know your favorite variety!

Happy gardening! 🌿
