Lettuce
Hi, this is my first year for growing my own vegetables having moved some shrubs to another part of the garden. It is only a small area, maybe 8' x 6' but it is the only place which is suitable and is in just the right position for sun. I have planted broad beans, peas, beetroot, Brussels and Iceburg lettuce; it is the lettuce which I am having problems with.
How can I prevent it from becoming slimy? There is quite a good heart but the leaves are very slimy and goes well into it, because of this I am reluctant to eat them. I would like them to be as good a quality as I would buy in the shops. Also is it OK to use ordinary slug pellets to control them? If not what is?
Thanks Bob
