Lettuce Choice

What type of lettuce do you grow?

 

I have been planting a lettuce seed mix for the past 4 years. This year I may change it up a little bit. Live dangerously.

How about you?

 

We plant Simpson's Elite, Red Salad Bowl, and Oakleaf. If we want "mesclun" I just mix the seeds together and add a few arugula seeds, and I've got "mesclun".
Head lettuces don't do well for us, but the leaf lettuces grow well and produce a lot of leaves. We just harvested the last of our leaf lettuce this week.

 

Butercrunch, bibb, red and green salad bowl, iceberg (although it doesn`t head here) and Black seeded simpson ! I just mix all together !

 

I plant Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce.

 

Try buttercrunch and bibb ! They last longer and are more crisp !
