The lettuce experiment

We live in a mini forest full of tall oak, maple, fir and cedar trees. Consequently, I grow a lot of hostas, ferns, huchera... things that love the shade. I have morning sun in the front only - mostly just on our driveway. The rest gets very little direct sunlight, so there's no chance of having a vegetable garden.

But we decided this year to try planting lettuce in containers on the side of our wide driveway and see if we could get anything. With just the cost of seeds and soil, it's a cheap experiment. I sowed the seeds on 5/16, right before the major rain and windstorm. A couple days ago, I noticed something growing!!!!!!
Salad, anyone!?!
