Another good day at the farm. A little less than 20lbs today. Small problem with seedlings on edges being dry but luckily I was able to rehydrate them all and still use them.

oh, and we did use to sell the iceberg one but it’s quite tough to grow and doesn’t sell as much, so we decided not to plant it anymore!!

that looks like the crispiest lettuce I've ever seen , i would eat an entire salad of just kristalka !

potato salad recipe?? looks gorg

No recipe! Made it up. I like putting lots of cucumber and/or chopped pickles, corn (nice if fresh and cut off the cob), sliced radishes, yogurty creamy dressing and herbs. I put mint and dill and also arugula in the food processor to make an herby creamy dressing. Lots of green things - i put chopped butterhead lettuce in. In the past have done arugula or whatever other green. Pickled red onions and boiled eggs as a treat. Usually i steam the potatoes but this time i got excited and roasted them in the oven with onion and garlic.

Saint Seiya AU where everything's the same but...

okay, so- I was browsing Wikipedia looking for material to make more historically accurate shitposts.

As I do...

Pisces Aphrodite's symbol, much like the goddess he's named after, is the rose. A red rose specifically.

However, did you know that another symbol of the goddess Aphrodite is lettuce?

fucking

✨L E T T U C E 🌈🥬

it's okay if you don't know where this is going

so-

Saint Seiya AU where everything's the same but instead of Aphrodite's powers being based around and channeled through roses, his powers are based around and channeled through LITERAL LEAVES AND HEADS OF LETTUCE

------------------------------

Fuck a rose, mans is walking around with a whole leaf of lettuce just hangin. out. his. MOUF

You can't tell if he's late to anime school or late to the salad bar.

HE'S NOT EVEN CHEWIN IT, IT'S JUST THERE-

Imagine him standing there looking all cool and beautiful yet intimidating (as he does), but instead of holding a rose, it's a whole head of Romaine.

Walkin around the sanctuary with iceberg lettuce leaves tucked behind his ear instead of something normal like an anemone or narcissus (flowers, other symbols of Aphrodite).

Just out here looking botanically confused.

------------------------------

Shun and Seiya get to the Pisces Temple and it's just a farm...

🥬🥬 A LETTUCE farm 🥬🥬

Pisces Farmodite AU???

And he has all different kinds planted.

There's butterhead, frisee, arugula, mesclun, little gem- You Name It

Seiya runs ahead as usual.

Instead of it being a long stretch of rose-covered stairs up to the Pope, the whole way up is covered in liek, idk... Endive???

For those of you who may not have looked into the food facts of lettuce (you not missin out on anything), lettuce is basically nutritionally-bankrupt, crunchy water.

Specifically, raw lettuce is like 95% water.

Instead of Seiya being slowly poisoned to death, he's having his Flintstone gummies siphoned out of his body until he dies of malnutrition.

Shun gets hit in the chest with BLOODY RADICCHIO

Instead of a white rose sapping out his blood, Shun gets hit in the chest with a white, translucent leaf of lettuce.

Once the leaf has completely sapped out his blood, it looks like this:

------------------------------

Imagine Aphrodite being the Bubba Gump of his universe.

Instead of him obsessing over all the ways you can cook shrimp, it's over all the different kinds of lettuce and how best to prepare them.

------------------------------

Away from the whole lettuce thing...

There are many animals associated with the goddess Aphrodite. Among them are hares, bees, fish, and geese.

I can't decide which idea I like more:

Pisces Beephrodite/Bee Keeper Aphrodite AU - Aphrodite with his usual roses and flowers but he also keeps bees as pollinators and as his lil striped buzzy frens.

Pisces Bunphrodite AU - Where everything's the same but he just has a pet rabbit. It can also be combined with the Pisces Endive-phrodite (Lettuce Aphrodite) AU where the bunny/bunnies live on the lettuce farm and it's their favorite snack.

Pisces Aphrodite but with a Ranchu Goldfish AU - Where he has a ranchu goldfish that just kind of floats there... It's the center of his universe and if you even look at his fish wrong, YOU'RE DEAD.

Untitled Goose Game - In which Aphrodite has the most ornery pet goose on the face of the planet. It only likes him. And much like the Ranchu AU, this goose is the center of his whole world. Aphrodite doesn't care if his goose just stole your identity and ruined your credit score. Keep his goose's name...

OUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH

goose is probably named Rutherford or smth

Fast Growing Vegetables You Can Grow In Under 60 Days

Gardening is a rewarding hobby that not only provides fresh produce but also offers a sense of accomplishment. For those who are impatient or have a short growing season, fast-growing vegetables are a perfect solution.

Many vegetables can be harvested in under 60 days, allowing you to enjoy homegrown produce quickly. Here are some top choices for fast-growing vegetables, along with tips on how to grow them successfully.

1. Radishes

Growing Time: 20-30 days

Radishes are one of the quickest-growing vegetables, often ready to harvest in just three to four weeks. They thrive in cool weather, making them ideal for spring and fall planting.

Radishes prefer loose, well-drained soil and full sun. Plant seeds about half an inch deep and one inch apart. Water regularly to keep the soil moist, and thin seedlings if they become crowded to ensure proper growth.

2. Lettuce

Growing Time: 30-45 days

Lettuce is a versatile leafy green that grows rapidly. There are various types of lettuce, including leaf, romaine, and butterhead, all of which can be harvested in under two months. Lettuce prefers cool weather and partial shade, especially in hotter climates. Sow seeds directly into the soil, about a quarter-inch deep, and thin the seedlings to give each plant enough space. Regular watering is essential to keep the leaves tender and sweet.

3. Spinach

Growing Time: 35-45 days

Spinach is another fast-growing leafy green that is packed with nutrients. It grows best in cool weather and can be planted in early spring or fall. Spinach seeds should be sown about half an inch deep and spaced an inch apart.

Thin the seedlings to allow for proper growth. Spinach requires consistent moisture and well-drained soil. Harvest the outer leaves as needed, or cut the entire plant when it reaches maturity.

4. Arugula

Growing Time: 30-40 days

Arugula, also known as rocket, is a peppery green that adds a unique flavor to salads. It grows quickly in cool weather and can be planted in early spring or fall. Arugula seeds should be sown about a quarter-inch deep and spaced an inch apart. Thin the seedlings to allow for adequate growth. Arugula prefers well-drained soil and regular watering. Harvest the leaves when they are young and tender for the best flavor.

5. Green Onions (Scallions)

Growing Time: 50-60 days

Green onions, or scallions, are easy to grow and can be harvested in about two months. They can be planted in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Sow the seeds about a quarter-inch deep and space them an inch apart. Green onions prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Keep the soil consistently moist for the best growth. Harvest when the green tops are about six inches tall.

6. Bush Beans

Growing Time: 50-60 days

Bush beans are a great choice for a fast-growing vegetable that produces a generous harvest. They thrive in warm weather and should be planted after the last frost. Sow the seeds about an inch deep and three inches apart. Bush beans prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during flowering and pod development. Harvest the beans when they are firm and crisp.

7. Zucchini

Growing Time: 50-60 days

Zucchini is a prolific summer squash that grows rapidly and produces abundant fruit. Plant zucchini seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, about an inch deep and spaced two to three feet apart. Zucchini needs full sun and well-drained soil. Water consistently and mulch around the plants to retain moisture. Harvest the zucchini when they are six to eight inches long for the best flavor.

8. Turnips

Growing Time: 40-60 days

Turnips are a versatile root vegetable that can be harvested for both their roots and greens. They grow best in cool weather and should be planted in early spring or late summer. Sow the seeds about half an inch deep and spaced an inch apart. Thin the seedlings to four inches apart once they start growing. Turnips prefer well-drained soil and consistent moisture. Harvest the roots when they are about two to three inches in diameter.

Growing Tips For Success

Soil Preparation: Ensure your soil is well-prepared before planting. Loosen the soil and add compost or organic matter to improve fertility and drainage.

Watering: Consistent watering is crucial for fast-growing vegetables. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot and other issues.

Sunlight: Most fast-growing vegetables require full sun, which means at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Choose a sunny spot in your garden for planting.

Succession Planting: To ensure a continuous harvest, practice succession planting by sowing seeds every few weeks. This way, you'll always have fresh vegetables ready to pick.

Pest Management: Monitor your garden for pests and take action as needed. Use organic pest control methods, such as neem oil or insecticidal soap, to protect your plants.

Conclusion

Growing fast-growing vegetables is a fantastic way to enjoy fresh produce quickly. With a little planning and care, you can have a bountiful harvest in under 60 days. Whether you have a large garden or just a small space, these vegetables are perfect for any gardener looking to maximize their growing season. Happy gardening!

First harvest from my patio garden! 7 fairly large butterhead lettuce leafs for the sandwiches we’re having for dinner tonight :’)

[farminternshipblog]

This week was pretty good in the farm. Finally got the kinds of harvests we were getting before all of the mess at the start of the semester. Nearly 45 lbs total!! Small problem with drainage, one of the meshes was clogged but that was an easy find and fix. Other than that I mixed nutrients and cleaned the seed tank. Felt like a really productive day.

ok i’ve decided to be annoying about lettuce today

1. romaine - 5/10

solid base option but she can be so irritating to eat due to the leaves being very big. also really doesn’t store well and the midvein is big so it’s kinda flavorless. decent crunch but it’s in a sad, watery way not a fun way

2. butter/butterhead - 100/10

BUTTER LETTUCE MY BEST FRIEND <3 soft leaves are easy to eat in salads and she has a nice taste. slightly spongey texture to the leaf which personally i like and you still get some crunch from the midvein though it’s small

3. little gem - 6/10

more or less similar to romaine, but is smaller and easier to eat + the midvein isn’t quite as difficult. really really nasty when slightly wilted though

4. green leaf - 4/10

better than romaine in that there’s more leaf than stem but the end shape of the leaf kinda tickles my mouth :(

5. red leaf - tentative 8/10

red leaf is nice bcos it’s a fun colour and you get the benefits of a big leaf without the midvein being quite as obtrusive as romaine. good for salads :). that being said the leaf shape can be smooth (yay! 8/10) or the kinda squiggly shape (in which case, see green leaf review)

6. iceberg - -1000000/10

i hope iceberg lettuce goes extinct genuinely. completely flavorless and the most shitass watery crunch you’ll ever get. wilts basically immediately. booooooo

7. arugula - 7/10

technically not a lettuce. can be too spicy but very nice when part of a mix, adds flavor. also rlly good in cooked dishes which most salad greens aren’t

8. dandelion green - 9/10

so long as the stem is cut where the leaf begins, very yummy

9. radicchio - ?/10

i don’t think i’ve had this on its own. points for being good cooked

10. oak leaf - 10/10

just very good 👍

11. frisée 0/10

literally the most evil texture on the planet it’s sooooo bad. i’ll be enjoying a salad and then BAM. hell in my mouth. barely any leaf. it’s what i imagine eating a bunch of live ants is like.

[sadisticstylist]

For those who don't know, I'm a huge garden nerd. Ask about my garden and you'll get an earful.

I'm very fortunate to live IN San Francisco proper, and yet have a large, private back yard. It's what sold us on this space! The previous couple that lived here built a raised bed in the back and obviously grew a lot of veggies. Last summer after we moved in, I discovered an artichoke plant, butterhead lettuce (which we ended up making wraps with), carrots & more surprises growing in the bed!

This year I went a little overboard with my seed order, and got more types of plants than I have room to grow. This year also had the coldest and most prolonged winter that I have ever felt in the Bay Area. Mid-March was supposed to be my "last frost date", but the weather was still shit. Zone 9b? Yeah, right. Also, our yard is sort of boxed in by some taller buildings on a few sides, which very inconveniently limits the amount of direct sun most of my beds receive. My poor pepper plants will never make it to fruition, lol. And forget trying to grow squash! PLUS there have been pests that have devoured many a seedling. Needless to say, it's been a learning experience!

Here are some plants that I HAVE grown, successfully, that we have been able to harvest and eat this year!

*Garlic (grown from individual cloves that had sprouted in our kitchen cupboard)

*snap peas (the exact variety was called "sugar daddy snap peas" ;))

*Butterhead and Merlot lettuce (both are so yummy omg)

*Kale (still going strong, probably the most successful crop so far)

*Swiss Chard (close second to Kale, just sometimes gets hit by leaf miners)

*Green onions (two different varieties, bought at the Asian market with the roots still attached, stuck em in the ground and have been letting them do their thing)

*HEEEEEEEEERBS! Cilantro, rosemary, thyme, oregano, peppermint, chocolate mint, lavender, sage, and more are all happy as can be out here! Also CHAMOMILE has been *prolific*. I planted two starters in two different spots last summer, they did their thing, died back, and reseeded *everywhere*. It even grows out of the cracks between paved stones ffs -_- A lovely fan bought us an herb dryer a while ago, and we're planning to share the chamomile with friends. Fucking chamomile. Whew.

If anyone's interested in following my garden ramblings on here, I'll try to keep all related posts tagged #Denalis Garden on my tumblr. And I'd love to make some tumblr friends who also garden! I'll post some photos later. Now I'm off to plant more seeds!

Can Hamsters Eat Lettuce? What You Need to Know 2023!

Can hamsters eat lettuce? You are wondering if hamster can eat lettuce or not? Find out the answer with our article! Best tips for your furry friend here!

Can Hamsters Eat Lettuce? Should you feed your hamster lettuce?

If you are wondering whether hamsters can eat lettuce, the answer is yes! Hamsters can eat lettuce and it is safe for them to do so. Lettuce is a type of leafy green that can provide some extra nutrients and fiber to your hamster’s diet. However, it is important to feed your hamster lettuce in moderation as too much of it can lead to digestive problems.

When feeding your hamster lettuce, make sure to rinse it thoroughly and remove any outer leaves that may be wilted or damaged. You can give your hamster a variety of types of lettuce to choose from, including romaine, iceberg, green leaf, and red leaf.

Just remember to introduce new foods slowly into your hamster’s diet to avoid any upset stomachs or allergic reactions. Overall, lettuce can be a tasty and nutritious addition to your hamster’s food rotation, just make sure not to overdo it!

Do Hamsters Like Lettuce? Benefits of lettuce to hamster?

Hamsters are small and adorable pets that often require simple and affordable foods to ensure good health. One of these foods is lettuce, a vegetable that is sometimes fed to hamsters. Hamsters love romaine lettuce and, considering that lettuce is safe for hamsters to eat in small portions, it is a great addition to their diet. Lettuce contains a variety of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, which is essential for good health.

These benefits of lettuce are important for your hamster’s overall health and well-being. While lettuce should not constitute the primary component of your hamster’s diet, it is a great supplement to their standard diet, which should include a combination of commercial pellets, fresh vegetables, and occasional treats.

In conclusion, hamsters like lettuce, and lettuce is a great addition to their diet, but it should be given in small amounts. As with any food, be sure to monitor your hamster’s reaction to the lettuce and adjust accordingly to ensure a balanced and nutritious diet.

Can Lettuce Harm My Hamster?

Lettuce is a popular green leaf found in many salads, but can it harm your hamster? While lettuce is safe for humans to consume, it is not recommended for hamsters to eat, especially on a regular basis. Different types of lettuce, such as iceberg, romaine, and butterhead lettuce, have varying nutritional values and can affect your hamster’s health differently.

Dwarf hamsters have a smaller digestive tract than Syrian hamsters and may have a harder time digesting lettuce. However, in moderation, Syrian hamsters can eat small amounts of lettuce without being negatively impacted. Lettuce contains a lot of water and lacks the necessary nutrients required for a balanced hamster diet.

Feeding lettuce to your hamster as a regular food source can lead to multiple health issues, including diarrhea and dehydration. It’s best to avoid feeding lettuce to your hamster altogether – lettuce isn’t necessary for their diet and doesn’t provide any nutritional benefits.

What Type of Lettuce is Bad For My Hamster?

Lettuce is a popular vegetable that is widely consumed by humans but can be harmful to some animals, including hamsters. While some kinds of lettuce such as romaine lettuce and green leaf lettuce may be safe for hamsters to consume in small amounts, iceberg lettuce should not be fed to them at all. This type of lettuce, which is popular in salads, contains high amounts of water and very little nutrients.

Additionally, hamsters have difficulty digesting large amounts of leafy greens, which can lead to digestive problems and diarrhea. Unwashed lettuce might also contain harmful bacteria and pesticides, which could cause health issues for your pet. In general, lettuce may cause more harm than good to hamsters, and should be avoided in their diets altogether.

It is important to provide a balanced diet that includes pellets, hay, fresh vegetables, and fruits that are suitable for your hamster’s digestive system. Remember, iceberg lettuce is toxic to hamsters and could cause harm or even death, so it is best to avoid feeding them this kind of lettuce entirely.

How Often Can A Hamster Eat Lettuce?

Hamsters are omnivores and enjoy a variety of foods as part of their diet. Lettuce is often a favorite of many hamsters, but it is important to ensure that they are not overfed with it. You can give your hamster a lettuce snack every couple of days, but it is crucial to control the amount of lettuce they consume. A small piece of lettuce or a lettuce leaf once or twice a week can be sufficient.

You can also mix varieties of lettuce if you want to add some diversity to their diet, but be cautious not to give them too much. Curly leaf lettuce is a good option as it is low in calories and high in fiber, which helps with digestion. As with any new food, it is essential to introduce lettuce slowly and monitor your hamster’s reaction.

If they experience any adverse effects such as diarrhea or stomach upset, it’s best to avoid feeding them lettuce altogether. In summary, hamsters can eat lettuce, but you must control the amount given to them and introduce it slowly into their diet.

How Much Lettuce Can I Give My Hamster?

Lettuce is a common vegetable that many people may want to feed their hamsters. However, it is important to know how much lettuce to give to a hamster as too much lettuce can cause digestive problems in hamsters. Hamsters consume a lot of food in proportion to their size, but only need a little bit of lettuce as a treat once or twice a week.

There are many lettuce varieties available in the market, but not all of them are safe for hamsters. Romaine and Bibb lettuce are safe options to give to a hamster, while iceberg lettuce should be avoided due to its high water content. Too much lettuce can cause diarrhea in hamsters, and it is important not to give too much lettuce for a hamster.

As a general rule, one or two small leaves of lettuce every once in a while should be enough as a treat. It is also important to make sure that lettuce is properly washed and free of pesticides or any other harmful chemicals before giving it to a hamster.
