A garden in the village has what look like several very large lettuce
growing in their flower border`s, we have had a couple of hard frosts and I
would have thought that if it was lettuce they would have gone long ago,
what else can the plants be.

A few years ago I let some Red Lettuce flower and they obviously seeded
around our allotment because in early spring, frosts and all, the ground
became covered in tiny red lettuce plants. A lot tougher than I thought!
