You know what this means. Lettuce #JacobinDay, 16 Germinal, we remember the execution of Fabre d'Eglantine, poet and one of the (really quite large number of rather more sciencey and gardeny) people who created the calendar.
Lettuce is sadly unpoetical, I still feel. But at least memorable.

Six years ago, we started #JacobinDay. It was a sanity saver in the first instance. A fun project later. And it remains a cast-iron reason to post pictures of primroses on 1 Germinal.
Luckily I'm west enough to get primroses today, along with scads of wild garlic. Spring.
