Last fall Martha Stewart did a show on ornamental lettuces but my mind was still working on unpacking our house. This year, we'll definitely plant some pretty lettuces. By the way, I hope to learn more about cold frames for winter gardening. I am also trying to figure out what to do with our patio herb garden once cold weather hits. I love being able to go out on my back deck and just pick fresh herbs. Thanks Abbie! Last fall Martha Stewart did a show on ornamental lettuces but my mind was still working on unpacking our house.

The kale comes in light purples and bright greens, with frilly edges. I'm not sure if they're edible, but I don't think so, since they're called "ornamental."
