Heat lettuce & flower cuttings

This is a continuation of the toy choi & flower cuttings - I ate the toy choi. They aren't cut and come again - you harvest them whole at age ~30 days. But the flower cutting garden went on all summer. The phlox were happy. The pansy not so much - pansies don't really like being too wet.

The greens mini I replanted with Burpee's heatwave lettuce mix and simpson elite.

replanted lettuce age 9 days, continued flower cuttings lettuce age 16 days lettuce 4 weeks, flowers still blooming lettuce 5 weeks, getting peaked (it's hot...) next week... starting next flower garden in block between growing replacement coleus and snapdragons still... still peaked summer lettuce, but replanted flowers

Soon after that, I replanted the greens mini as well, with several weeks' worth of failed experiments. But! The twinkle phlox - still clones / cuttings of those original plants from when I bought the mini - are still alive outside. I cut a posey of them before a frost last week:

phlox still going!

I liked the twinkle phlox. :) The frosts haven't even killed it yet - it's still blooming (Oct 29).
