My colleague, Gus Sentementes, writes today on his blog, BaltTech, about the attempt by science to produce "super" lettuce.
Steven Britz, a research plant physiologist at the USDA's Agricultural Research Service in Beltsville, is using ultraviolet rays to grow nutrient-rich lettuce.

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.
