Harvest Monday

Today I picked our first "All The Year Round" lettuce:
This lettuce has lovely crinkly leaves and a crisp heart. We also picked a Catalogna lettuce:
which apparently is a hybrid oakleaf variety and is not much different from the green and red oakleaf lettuces that we have grown. Finally, I decided to pick some of the butternut squash to try and encourage the remaining fruits to swell a bit more. These are all the cucurbits harvested today:
The squash are quite small.. probably half the size of a supermarket specimen! The largest one so far is on the right of the above pic, weighing in at just over half a kilo.
