This afternoon I took what was left of my lettuce and chopped and dropped it in place then put fresh cow compost on top and put in new plugs. I've got black seeded Simpson, prizehead, ruby leaf, merlot, and freckles.

I picked leaves a few weeks ago for a few salads and now it's filling in slowly but surely. I think from here on out I'm going to stick with cut and come again (cut full head just above the crown) because I'm not getting the growth rate I like. Maybe I picked the leaves when the plants were too small and that's why they didn't have the energy to recover quickly...dunno.
What is interesting is the whiskey barrel that gets tons of shade (last pic) is the one that is doing the best - by far. That is usually the one that does best in summer heat. Odd.
I just sowed 2 trays of new seeds so I'll be ready to replace these after a few more cuts.

Do you niggers grow dill?
I've had an ongoing issue trying to get my slaves to grow my favorite herbs; dill, fennel, cumin, and oregano.
Also need to get turmeric & ginger going, but need to creat a zone for that.
Do you companion these herbs my fly negerosos?

I grow it straight out of lettuce beds, or next to anything that doesn't require vertical growth. It requires very little horizontal space because it grows UP. You just need to make sure it has time to germinate and doesn't get shaded out by ither plants.

In your experience what is the germination rate and/or time?
Either I'm getting poor seeds or I'm just not germinating properly.
