I’m good with romaine, too. If I’m having to buy lettuce to make a salad, that’s usually what I get if I’m not buying a spring mix or something like that. I really liked the mesclun I planted last year - ate a lot of great salads. :-)

Mesclun is good for sandwiches, too. And great for lining an Easter party tray for deviled eggs, stuffed celery and the like. I like the baby ‘red sails’ lettuce that comes in the mix, such pretty crimsom against the bright lime green.

There is nothing like fresh, tender lettuce. We've grown Black Simpson and blends of various looseleaf types. My husband particularly loves mesclun, but imho, all are delicious! :)

Except iceberg.
