I love BSS lettuce and have grown it many times. Have you ever had wilted lettuce? All you need is some crushed garlic, and olive oil heated up and then you drizzle it over the lettuce and serve. So good, so simple.

I don't know why, I my mind just doesn't go to vegetables for the banner, but this shows how wrong I am! Hilarious! I love that shade of green, it's a perfect banner!

No, I haven't tried that, but thanks for letting me know about that! Next year I should definitely try it.

Thanks so much @Fieldsof_flowers, @lauriemorningglory, @slowcala, @Murky, and @crawgarden for your very kind comments on my banner! I'm so glad you liked it.

And special thanks to @wildflowers for the generous tip of two acorns!

By the way, here's the full picture, from which the banner was cropped. Usually, I'll include the full photo in the OP but I forgot this time, lol.
