Addicted to Planting

So last week I bought seeds (lettuce, etc.) and planted a fall crop. Then this weekend while getting farm fresh veggies, I bought some lettuce and broccoli plants. Of course I did! I planted in 4 areas around the house, including a container on the deck. What I hope to learn is how the different areas, with different sunlight conditions, affect the plants. Well, actually I'm still just desperate for a crop of anoint, and hedging my bets :)
