I've got a planting of Jehrico that's been distributed to the CSA that I'm getting some bitterness complaints about.
This brings up two questions:
1. Do you have a recipe for a dressing that goes good with bitter lettuce?
2. I've had it in my head that as long as the soil is very damp, lettuce won't get bitter. I think I ran into something weird in the past couple of weeks: the soil was wet to almost capacity but it was hot enough that this soaking wet soil got hot. I was in a bind of knowing I didn't need more water and thinking that as long as the lettuce could access water, its leaves could not get too hot. It seem like I should have used a 'cooling mist,' even though the soil was plenty wet. (I hate to say it, but also HOT to the touch, at times) What do you think?
Thanks!
