Autumn: 2026
🌱 Natural Agriculture: Lettuce
Hello everyone! Welcome back to the blog. How are you all doing?
Let me tell you that the day before yesterday I spotted a very
curious little plant in the garden. I am pretty sure I have a
brand new lettuce seedling that germinated completely on its own!
To give you some context: back in the summer, a lettuce plant I
kept right next to the Orange tree pot went to seed, so I took the
chance to scatter them around using the broadcast seeding method.

Seeing this success, I plan to keep sowing little by little. I
will do it through direct broadcasting or by using Nendo Dango
(seed bombs), especially around the fruit trees. That is where
the highest concentration of worm humus is located, thanks to
all the organic matter I processed back then with the help of
Red Californian earthworms.
The picture attached was taken today. We have a new plant on the
way and I definitely plan to keep sowing! They say it is going
to rain next weekend, and since I have saved seeds from previous
seasons, it will be the perfect timing. We will keep an eye on
this lettuce's growth. However, I must confess I am a bit
worried about snails; I haven't been going out at night to check
on the garden due to a cold, which luckily is almost cured now.
How much do you know about the surprise garden lettuce? 🥬
