Country living gardening
I know how to plant giant pumpkins but it seems that medium and small pumpins are required for some recipies. Where do I find the seeds for these?

I've been wondering about the situation with Lettuce for recipes if you have simple living lot challenge enabled.
Other ingredients yield like 4-6 per day per plant when in season. And you can fit 4 plants in a garden plot, so 16-24 harvestables per plot per day.
The lettuce is one of those potentially big crops, so maximum 4 harvestables per plot per... year?
And you need a whole lettuce to make 1 portion of garden salad. Which makes garden salad suddenly a very precious commodity.
Am I missing something or is this very unbalanced?

I’ve learned to can the oversized produce - you’ll get so much more out of it! With lettuce, for example, you need 1 (of ANY size) to make 1 serving of garden salad (along with a tomato). But you can turn it into lettuce conserve and it’s exactly the same thing, only you get more jars out of it, depending on your size of lettuce.
Small - 2 jars
Medium - 5 jars
Oversized- 12 jars
Knowing this, no one would use an oversized lettuce on a single garden salad when you can get 12 jars out of it, and it takes 2 jars of lettuce to make 4 or 8 servings which means you have the potential to make 48 servings of garden salad, provided you also have 12 tomatoes (or 4, really- because you can triple your tomatoes by canning those, too, and tomato sauce is usable in garden salad - mmmmm! ?)
IRL, lettuce conserve sounds gross, but hey. I don’t have to eat it!
