Still Think Growing Lettuce is a Hassle?

E-Coli in the Lettuce. Again.

This kind of thing comes up about twice a year. Any wonder why I prefer growing lettuce in the backyard?

ATTACKED!!

Just noticed that something--probably a squirrel--attacked one of my strawberry beds sometime since this morning. It/they chewed off 9 out of 12 plants right at the roots! Most of them had flowered and were actively growing berries...

Disappointed!
