In Doy’s garden
Log it in Doydum and a row of cabbages sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.
Lettuce is mostly water and crunch: the base of green salads, the leaf in sandwiches and wraps, and in Turkey the wrapper for çiğ köfte. Romaine, iceberg and curly leaf all come out close in the numbers.
Lettuce adds very little; dressings, croutons and cheese decide what a salad really adds up to.
