Greenhouse growing enables Nichols to greatly expand their variety and availability of produce at the beginning and end of seasons. As we start to approach cold nights that lettuce wouldn’t enjoy, growing it in a greenhouse keeps the temperature more even from the day to night allowing them to thrive and increasing the diversity of things we receive in the shares.
Lettuce and other non-kale leafy greens typically go bad the quickest of all the veggies we get. A tip to help greens last a long as possible; if you notice any that are starting to look a little less than great, get rid of those leaves right away.

We also like to crack the container open in the refrigerator, if we notice a lot of condensation as too much moisture in the container will also cause it to go bad quickly.
