In the course of checking out what greens would be available at a
particular season, I found that Hill (Gardener's Labyrinth, 1579?)
suggests that you should do succession plantings of lettuce so as to have
it all season. Do the menus we have found indicate that lettuce was used
often in that time period?

"The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken
places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and
the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these
you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
-- E. Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms
