Thanks for sharing such detailed info and well done for keeping such detailed notes! (my notes dwindle in the July rush despite my best intentions). t
the lettuces which we picked hardest were also worst affected by the aphids, so will need a lot more plants next year in order to be able to pick them more lightly!
flashy butter oak was our worst affected variety but in all other ways it’s my favourite so I’ll be growing it again anyway w
we got through the gap as we had loads of non-lettuce salad, but it all takes so damn long to pick compared to big healthy lettuce leaves! Yes rainbow chard is great for bulking salad and along with kales is our main non salad crop.
will be referring back here when choosing varieties for next year
