Winter has been more mild than even the last. Hellebore flower stalks have emerged ahead of schedule here on the Northeast Piedmont of NC and daffodils are setting buds several weeks earlier than is typical in my yard.

Wondering about a new offering in lettuces from Johnny's - Salanova. Developed for commercial gardeners who market salad mixes. Am thinking they would make for a good choice for a home garden for which the ornamental appeal is important but might make for too much salad over too short a period of time for just me and sum yung son. Whaddaya think?
