I wish I had a good answer for you... I don't officially grow it because my 5 acres are COVERED in miners lettuce each spring... I have noticed that it seems to really flourish in areas around trees, brush and rock crevices so I think it likes partial shade. I also think it likes the loose...

You guys are too funny! I have my veggies in a container garden, lot's of wine barrels... but as soon as we can afford to trench a water line to the area, I'll have a nice 40x60 foot plot. I would also LOVE to see others garden pics, if I have to go to their personal pages... No problem, just...
