OT Horseradish lettuce??

Mainegg

I was cutting herbs for the dish I am doing for dinner tonight and in my herb bed I have an assortment of lettuce. all normal things I thought. this one is peppery and has an after taste of horseradish! I love it and am going to use it on a roast beef sandwich for lunch tomorrow.

my herb garden

it is the lettuce with the dark red streaks running up the leaf. kind of in the center of this pic.

where the eggs live

guardian of the eggs.... I want to name him "Poot" what do you think???

this rose bush has taken over the fence and is growing up the swing!

it is not blooming yet but it smells heavenly out there by it! sweet and old fashion rose scent.

Sounds like an interesting plant, I love horseradish so that sounds good to me. Very nice place you have there, you get many bee's with that rose bush being so big????

Now, get a glass of wine and enjoy the sunshine and the sweet smell of the rose bush and don't forget to fire up the Egg for more aroma.

Cheers,
Bordello

No bee's yet it is not open. But when it does you can almost hear them in the house! Mom and I each dug up shoots from the rose bush at my Nana's. Nana's and mom's is a wonderful deep pink and in clusters of 6-8 blooms. mine is a plain old flat 5 petal cream white. :blink: they look the same till they bloom :(

This doesn't sound OT to me. Nevertheless, nice looking herbs, I wish mine were that big.

Thanks for sharing.

Cool, Julie. What a nice garden.

I have no idea on your lettuce, if it were my house, it would be a weed! Let us know how it tastes on your sammie tomorrow.

That gargoyle looks a little familiar, but I can't put a name on it!

Beautiful herbs and backyard. Oh and don't eat the ramps

Mainegg

nope not ramps. I have picked those before and they are definitely an onion shape and stem. this is def a lettuce growing out from a center low to soil level. just like a lettuce. no bulb under it and came packed in a vegi lettuce assortment 6 pack. mom and dad got it too.

Capt Frank

Boy, they fooled me, your pics look just like the ramps on Google, but of course I could not see the bulbs [or no bulbs] on yours
If you try some let us know how they taste
