Congratulations to Kukla, whose Shalotta, Mom's Pickled Lettuce Condiment won the contest for Your Best Recipe with Vinegar!

Once again, we want to give a big thanks to all of our volunteer recipe testers for your thoughtful comments and for helping us continue to strengthen our recipe recommendations. 

It was another busy day in the test kitchen on Tuesday, preparing finalists and community picks for Your Best Lettuce. Much greenery was consumed, a few mishaps were had, and oh yes, we cooked a few recipes, too. Here are our top three moments from the day -- as always, follow us on Instagram @food52 for more.

It's that time again -- help us pick the contest finalists for Your Best Lettuce! 

This is the sixteenth in our biweekly series from Amy Pennington – urban farmer, founder of GoGo Green Garden, and author of Urban Pantry and Apartment Gardening – on how to start growing your own food, no matter how tiny your garden-to-be is.

Today: It's hard to believe, but fall is on its way. Amy tells us what to plant now for the perfect patio harvest come cold weather.
