I love when my spinach and lettuce lasts through the winter to spring. Last year, I did not plant enough, or else we ate more, because it all ran out before spring.

I have planted some more indoors and outdoors. The indoor romaine still has some leaves left, but the spinach is only seedling size - it took forever to germinate for some reason.

Last week the outdoor lettuce planted in top soil had sprouted, the mushroom compost only had one or two sprouts and the mixture of garden soil, top soil, and mushroom compost hadn’t even started. They are all under the row cover because of the cool temps, so I won’t be looking at them till tommorrow when the weather is nicer.

I’m up here in MA so winter lettuce would be impossible although I never thought to try doing it indoors.
