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. ;)

Well, I might - if it were not for the fact that I truly despise
the flavor of kale. Way too bitter.
Kale is super healthy - so years ago I experimented with
all sorts of recipes to try to choke the stuff down.
Anybody care for some 'Kaleslaw'? No?
What is the LEAST bitter variety of kale? Is there one?
