I've had wonderful luck with Black Seeded Simpson lettuce over the years. (Outdoors, of course.)
Pull off the biggest leaves & eat 'em. Let the rest keep growing.
That why they were the first seeds in the dirt in this indoor wintertime garden experiment!
I'll keep you posted & informed as this endeavor 'sprouts' forward....
Black Seeded Simpson is an awesome lettuce variety - it’s been around since 1850. I LOVE it’s chartreuse leaves; they look so pretty in a salad with all the other ‘boring’ lettuce colors. Those leaves look SPECTACULAR with purple Kale in a salad bowl.
Seed some purple Kale in your winter experiments. I like ‘Scarlet’ from Baker Creek. It’s another that you can cut the outer leaves when small and it keeps coming back. It also works well in a micro-greens mix, or for basic sprouting.
Can’t wait to hear how things go this winter - when I’m up to my butt in snow and you’re growing lettuces. ;)
