How to identify delicious lettuce

Lettuce is the classic salad.

It is delicious even if you mix it with other ingredients or eat it alone.

The taste of vegetables is very important only for lettuce, which is often eaten raw.
So, this time, I will make an article on how to identify delicious lettuce.

lettuce delicious how to distinguish

 



 

There are two points to distinguish delicious lettuce.

1. The leaf color is not dark and light and the winding is not solid.

2. The cut has a 10-yen coin size and is not heavy (heavy ones are too grown up and bitter)

These are two points. (^ ◇ ^)

(The 10-ball size of the cut is that this part is about 2 mm in diameter.)

It is easy to pick something that is heavy, but lettuce is too grown and contains bitter components.
I hope you can refer to it when you buy lettuce.

The identity of white powder. Aphid molting.

The other day when I was watering lettuce,
Any white powder? I noticed something like this.

 white husks aphids molting pests

 



 

There were lots of unexpectedly between the lettuce leaves,
Any illness? Or was something like pollen flying? (;´・ω・)

If you look at it with a magnifying glass,

Something like an insect-like foot ... (; ・`д・´)

But it ’s dead because it does n’t move… Why so many dead bodies ...
What is this pest ...

And if you are thinking about that ...

In the back of the lettuce leaves, a lot of Aburaya (Aphids) (;´・ω・)

That ... something like an aphid and this corpse ...

that? There is an aphid pulling a corpse.

Ah! this is··

That's right. This was an aphid molting shell.

No way, I didn't think lettuce had aphids, so I didn't get rid of it.

Aphids have an interesting ecology, such as growing alone or attaching ants to escorts.

Anyway, I was relieved that it was not a new disease or something.
There are various discoveries in the home garden.
