I have some Romain lettuce that I planted late and was thinking I should
protect from the frost. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Robert

Robert,

If it is over 3" tall now, it will probably be all right, but I usually just
throw an old bed sheet over any "bed" that is young and better off not
nipped by the first frosts. My garden has sustained remarkably little
damage even in ice or snow storms or temps in the 20s. I suspect that
lettuces and mustards and cabbage family have antifreeze in their veins....

Please call me or email me off list.
