As a winter experiment, I planted some Grand Rapids leaf lettuce seeds. Even with grow lights, it took all of two and a half months to reach harvest stage. Tasty but not nearly enough production to keep lettuce off my grocery list. I think I'll try different varieties next time. Actually, I prefer the crunch of romaine lettuce on my vegan BLTs.
It's Valentine's Day so here are a few snaps of my sweeties:

| Of course you knew, I'd be featuring my screech owl! |
 |
| Such an intense look on that wee face! |
 |
| This American Robin has kept me company all winter. |
 |
| Having a long reign for a tom cat, Romeo is still around. |
 |
| Yes Ellie May, he really does fancy you! |
 |
| In fact, he's left perfume for you on my riding mower's tire ... |
 |
| ... as well as here, there and everywhere!! |
