AnnualIn between lettuce and cabbage, this plant has a similar time to maturity as the two. It is a bitter green that is packed with nutrients. Nicely bitter and spicy leaves become sweeter when cooked; a favorite Italian method is grilling this with olive oil. Use sparingly with other greens it can add color as well as some important antioxidants. Grow these to add to your favorite salad mix!
First time growing.
Great price on these seeds
I am excited to grow this wonderful veggie to help me stay healthy and help my mom use food as medicine against cancer. While I know it’s not a cure in and of itself, it has many great properties to strengthen and fight off disease. What a blessing to go out in your garden and bring in edible health treasures—let food be thy medicine, as Hippocrates once said;)
Any leafy thing with reddish leaves does better in heat than green in terms of bolting. This is no exception. My zone 9b/10a, we dont really get winter weather, so the best i can do is something like this. It isnt a lettuce, so to speak, but goes well mixed in a salad. I like them as baby greens mixed into other lettuce to make a mesclun type salad mix. It has some bitterness when it gets full grown in heat, but this is true of other types of this radiccio. Germination was near 100%.
Pkg looking good.. can't wait to plant them!
Germanated quickly on a heat mat. Off the mat and growing ready to transplant early/mid april. Excited for leeks this autumn
Last year I bought seeds from my local store and I didnt get anything to germinate. This year I purchased all my seeds from MIGardener and I've had to give seedlings away cause nearly all the seeds sprouted!!!
Great germination! I'm excited to see how the onions turn out
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
