Lettuce as big as the kitchen sink!

Take a look at this lettuce I picked yesterday from the raised bed:
This is "Marvel of Four Seasons", a French heritage butterhead variety with soft leaves that are crunchy in the middle. I also harvested 4 more spring onions: 2 x Ishikura and 2 x White Lisbon:
It is difficult to tell the varieties apart at this stage. Apparently Ishikura does not "bulb up" like White Lisbon so maybe the difference would become more apparent over time. Either way, I am simply delighted to have harvested spring onions after my failed attempts over the past few years.
I can't resist showing off some more of our sweet peas. I love the crazy contorted shapes of some of the stems:
