I had a friend with a male pit bull named Kitty.
“60 days. An heirloom lettuce that dates to the 1850’s. It makes small cabbage-like green heads, only 3-4” across. Very tasty, a winner for classy markets!”
It's slow to bolt and there were many customer comments and they are all good plus saying the lettuce is crisp and sweet which is what I want. A package of 250 seeds is $1.50. I ordered three packages as I'm serious about this lettuce - I'll freeze the seed packets. I'll plant them in the wood long planter on the ground when I get the seed. With it being small and excellent rate of germination, I'll try to grow it in the house in winter under the grow lamp.
I have the Cherry Punch tomato seed for containers that have 30% more vitamin C and 40% more lycopene than the average garden tomato, to also try to grow in winter under the grow lamp. If I could have tomatoes and lettuce in winter, it would be a winner.
greeneyes is my model for growing plants inside in winter and she suggested the Tom Thumb to get me small lettuce heads now. She has been an inspiration for my efforts to grow food plants, along with Johnny (who tells me everything that can go wrong).
