The day is chilly. I planted lettuce. No more recycling for the moment.

The day has been chillier than other so I thought I could plant some lettuce seeds in egg boxes. We will see if they will grow and I will have to find a way to transplant them in the winter.
Up tp now I had, as many people a special big bag to recycle things. We placed several things as we had been taught and they were taken away every 2 weeks.
But today I heard a lady who worked there and who said that this hob was specially dangerous because they had to separate several different things with their hands and they were not given gloves or masks.
So, I decided that the recyclable garbage, a clean sort of garbage in a normal situation, would have to wait until all this horror is over.
I hope the lettuce will accept the winter conditions. It would if I could place the containers in the terrace or in the raised bed that I had with veggies before Luna came to my house.

They are picking it up here too but a worker was very angry with the company for which she worked.

@DianneN I decided that, as it is a sort of garbage that does not smell, I´d keep it in the garage until this is over.

That's wonderful to raise lettuce. It's my favorite vegetable.

It seems do. Or maybe without enough protection. I have heard that in the US there aren´t enough masks for people in the medical field.

Lettuce is one of those items I have never thought to try and grow. Hope it grows well for you. As for recycling we are still doing it here. I have no idea what precautions the sorters are taking, but I am sure there are procedures in place.

I want to grow lettuce, chard and arudula in winter. Just for fresh green salads.

@porwest We have a mild winter. And I can make a small green house.

@marguicha Oh. Interesting. I did not know you could grow these during the winter. I am assuming inside?

The same I put in the picture. I like iceberg best but I don´t have that kind of seeds.

Our winters are mild. I could make a sort of plastic hothouse.

@marguicha A plastic tunnel is good, it warms during the day with the sun and it keeps the temperature milder during the night.

Lettuce was my favorite in the garden when I was in grade school. But I was never successful because the birds would be ahead of me in harvesting. The mustard was better to plant.
