Maybe you remember two years ago I had pretty hanging flower baskets at my front entry. Then last summer, I decided to plant something pretty and edible, so I bought a packet of nasturtium seeds. Those edible flowers did okay, but not really enough in the way of food. So, this year, I've decided to just go all out vegetable garden in my hanging baskets. After rejuvenating the soil in all 5 of the baskets, I'planted red leaf lettuce seeds. From a distance, I hope the red leaves will just look colorful. Meanwhile, I hope to be able to harvest leaves for our salad bowl. I'll know if this is successful in about 45 days, as this variety of lettuce is supposed to mature in 38 days (and plants always take longer in my yard).
