I honestly enjoyed this. It was extremely educational and useful. I will come back to check on upcoming posts.

Hi Willi,
I attended your seed starting class last weekend and got all the supplies I need to get started. I do have a question – there are some seeds that I got that I think are supposed to be started outside vs. inside. Can you tell me (or help me find a good guide on this) which ones of the seeds I got should not be started inside?
peppers
squash – both summer and zucchini
basil
jalepeno
pole beans
spinach
beets
lettuce
carrots

thank you so much – I learned a lot at your seminar and am excited to start growing!
Susan

That iceberg looks absolutely delicious… I got my seeds from Baker Creek Heirlooms and I’m stoked to get them in the starter pots this weekend. Sadly I didn’t get any iceberg but I think you’ve inspired me to go find some seeds and add it to my lettuce patch!

I’ve never grown iceberg, so I’ll be very interested to see what comes up in your garden. I wish I could still eat some blue cheese dressing. Some kind of yum.~~Dee

so funny I cam across your blog today and one of the packets of seeds in the mail to me right now is the red iceberg. I ordered my seeds from seed savers, but it seem the same. I grew leaf lettuce last year so I am wondering if this will be harder or easier.

Maureen–I know! When I saw the picture I couldn’t resist!

Justine–I’m so glad you liked the results. I completely trust your veggie judgement. I’m starting my Italian tomatoes this weekend, so we’ll have to trade in a few weeks.

Amanda–The crunch totally can’t be beat on a sandwich. I’m envisioning super good BLTs this summer because apparently iceburg actually holds well in the heat.

GardenMentor. Noooo. Not earwigs. They are the grossest of all insects. I hope they do not find their way into the heads. Slugs I can handle, but earwigs give me the creeps.

LadyPeeJay and Emmaleigh–Don’t worry, as soon as I harvest a head you can expect a wedge salad recipe, complete with roquefort dressing, stat.

I want to paint a picture of that lettuce, it’s so pretty!

I second the roquefert dressing recipe request!

Lastly, I’ve convinced my sister who has a yard (I don’t) to have a veggie garden this year. I may have to lobby to get this lettuce in it, assuming the feet of snow ever melt. (yes the other Washington had FEET of snow this year, not happy making for this southern girl.)
