Young Flashy Trout's Back lettuce (it's an Austrian heirloom aka Forellenschluss romaine). I loved it last year (though it was difficult to photograph then too.) Colorful and great tasting also. This is some started from seed and transplanted to the garden about 2 weeks ago.Beets planted 4/7 are sprouting and there are a few volunteer sunflowers sprouting! We're probably not past the last frost yet, but I wonder if I could plant some other sunflowers too.
The broccoli also started from seed and planted out a couple weeks ago seems to be quite happy. I remember the seedlings I bought last year took forever to show some growth.These next two weeks are going to be more time tight than usual, but I do still hope to make some blog rounds as this provides a nice sanity break. Please be patient if you don't hear from me.

That trout whatsit lettuce looks great. I've also sown a lot of salad seedlings for my kitchen garden. Today I had my first salad with rocket, oak leaf lettuce, lollo rosso, lettuce and cloves. Very tasty!
Wow your garden is looking stunning - and I just love the lettuce - looks like you have splashed it with paint.
Gorgeous, colourful photos made my day
That lettuce looks incredible; I've recently started a label "That's new to me" on my blog...shall mention this is my next post and link the find back to you.

That lettuce is beautiful... rather like some of the more restrained coleus!
