Ed’s Special Advice: Harvest young plants just before use or store in a container in the refrigerator. Enjoy them in a salad, sandwiches, juiced or top your favorite dish with young greens. Discard potting mix into your compost pile after harvest. Sterilize the flat and repeat the process. Grow Miner’s Lettuce indoors during winter for year round nutrition.
