No frost yet, though though the forecast yesterday called for ‘up to 3″ of rain’. It doesn’t often dump that much rain here. The salad table took it in stride. The excellent drainage is a big bonus — the front lawn is totally squishy. We harvested a big bowl of greens today:
Which didn’t really make much of a dent in the contents of the salad table. The romaine lettuces and spinach are doing “ok”, the dill and cilantro are starting to look tired:
A few of the Miner’s lettuce leaves don’t look so good. Does anyone recognize this as a sign of something specific? I’m assuming it’s most likely bugs:
If I’d have known it was this easy to have fresh greens during the winter I would have done a salad table years ago..

I’ve never grown the Miner’s lettuce so I have no idea what’s going on with the leaves. That salad owl in the first photo sure looks good though!

It would be so nice to have a salad table like that over the winter…maybe if I ever get my sunroom 🙂

It doesn’t look like bugs to me. No chewing or other evidence of external attack.
I would guess either a fungal or bacterial cause, common in high humidity environments.
