Harvesting "Chisha"/ leaf lettuces.

-- from iPod touch

Today I harvested "Chisha lettuces" or leaf lettuces which were planted 2 month ago. That kind of lettuce doesn't form a head. I found their leaves are about 30cm/11inch so I believe it's the time to harvest them.





 When I harvest them, I have to be careful because the leaves don't roll inside like cabbages or usual lettuces and they are so fragile that they break and snap easily.






 I and my wife prepared the lettuces with removing dirt, soil, bugs and their roots and,,,,




 Today's dinner was BBQ on a electric heating plate! You can see the lettuces and other vegetables, which were grown in my garden,  beside the plate.

 We rolled a grilled beef and gochujang (Korean red chili paste) with a leaf of the lettuce.
You can eat more vegetables with grilled beefs and expect well-balanced nutrition in that way.

Looks absolutely yummy! We have a tabletop electric grill exactly the same as yours, and we use it to make what we call "Korean barbecue", which is very like what you had.

Looks so delicious! I have some lettuce for fall, and I have missed my garden lettuce over the hot summer.

An electric grill is so comveniet when we do BBQ indoor. When you have Korean BBQ, do you use any korean sauce or condiment like gochujang (Korean red chili paste)?

I think you can grow garden lettuces if it's still warm in your place. I hope you try it and end enjoy delicious salad.
