Description
Wild lettuce is a delicious spicy green that can be harvested from almost any local, uncultivated area. It looks like a tall dandelion but it isn’t. It is sometimes considered a weed, but what is a weed but a misunderstood plant? Humans and wild critters alike are known to munch on wild lettuce, especially the young shoots. You know how conventional lettuce often tastes bland and watery? Well wild lettuce does not. And unlike garden lettuce it pops up on it’s own and ya don’t have to weed around it!
This bunny knows what’s up. And this un-mown wild lettuce patch is keeping this dude busy while the lettuce planted in my garden goes unharmed.
