I am so glad that the Funnel cloud passed you by. Now that would have really torn up the garden even more so not to mention other stuff.
Anyone try to regrow romaine lettuce? You tube has a video showing how it’s done with romaine, carrots, celery and onions. Simply cut about 2” from the bottom of the romaine stalk, place it in 1/2 inch of water (which is changed daily) and it will start to sprout within a few weeks. I am now going to transplant it in the garden as a test.
