This is what the underlying cause (well aside from a lettuce shortage) is from what I heard. There is a shortage and supermarkets are rationing so that restaurants and such don't just pile in and buy it all at once.As I pointed out to my wife. if you stick lettuce seeds in your garden, you will have. lettuce about 3-4 weeks later and lots of it. It's gardening for kindergarten - they're about the easiest and quickest thing you can grow yourself.Ah what imagination the nation lacks.
Many but not all. They'll grow into a full size lettuce in an old boot or plant pot or whatever too - inside as well as out. In about 3-4 weeks.

Lettuce pray that the shortages actually start to change the eating habits of the nation.Noticed that Lidl? are now advertising U.K grown kale as the calabrese shortage deepens.Eventually the big supermarkets will shift some production back to U.K. and the consumer will be told that kale and purple sprouting broccoli are better for you and the environment than stuff grown in Iberia and trucked in to the U.K.I think kale has a pretty high iron content IIRC. It is certainly very tolerant of frost, which calabrese isn't.We all need to start eating according to the seasons of production . Airfreighting beans from Kenya or Peru is not sustainable.
