Not only are these lettuces laid out in beautiful patterns, they don't seem to have a single hole, blemish, aphid or unwanted creepy crawly. In fact, they look almost unreal, like something you'd see in a wacky window display in Harvey Nichols or Selfridges.



They are in the Model Vegetable Garden at Wisley where the word 'model' might appear to have several meanings. (On the subject of unreal veg, I never understood why butchers always had - and sometimes still have - plastic tomatoes and sprigs of false parsley in amongst the sausages and chops.)
