Enough compost, mulch and water will eventually improve things, but the
dirt's probably in lousy shape now.

Previously, one bed had ferns, the other ivy. I am going to keep
working on the soil.

Lettuce is a cool season crop here. Direct seed every few weeks in the
fall/winter/early spring for a continuous crop.

This is great to know. Hopefully I'll be more successful than I
was in spring.

Thanks,
