Went out to check on things this afternoon and low and behold, I found a lettuce seedling in one of the raised beds!

Looking at my records, it's either a Buttercrunch or Grand Rapids that I direct sowed on 7/31/06!

Well, now that I think of it, I guess it could have self seeded from the lettuces I let go to seed last year, but those were in the adjoining bed, not this bed. And exactly where I direct sowed.

Now this year, I haven't had time to sow much nor expect to have much time to care for too much, so I planned on having nothing but tomato plants in the raised beds.

Anyone know if I can transplant this thing into a 5 gallon container? Then I could move it into a shady area during the warmest part of the summer....
