Keeping Your Lettuce Fresh

A couple tips I do right after I pick the lettuce and before eating. I quickly rinse in very cold water top and bottom and pluck the leaves off the stem and then lightly dampen off on a clean towel. turn it every so often then place in a colander or strainer and gently turn it every now and then. I cover with either a top or a light plastic wrap and refrigerate. I tend to get a lettuce mix to last a week to 10 days. It’s fresh and great. I just noticed the soaking really helps it come back to life. The hot weather has really taken a toll on my lettuce. I hope to grow a lot more into the fall with less stress on the plants.

Thanks for your patience and understanding! any tips, please post for everyone to read and learn more!
