WINTER LETTUCE
When planted in the 1 open in the ordinary way the, success of this depends upon the weather. If trenches are formed in which to plant it will be found more satisfactory than planting on the level, whilst, if needed, protection can easily be afforded.
The trenches could be prepared properly by adding manure or leaves in the bottom, covering with several inches of soil; then planting the lettuce.
The trenches will then be quite ready for celery as soon as the lettuce is removed.
Another good plan is to form a ridge or bank, facing north, and plant on it. Excessive wet is more harmful than frost.
