An old family heirloom that originated with the Hanson family in Maryland. Refreshing in taste! This variety is great for those that love iceberg but want something a bit crunchier. Great to add on deli sandwiches or to toss-up for a salad.
I ordered several vegetable seeds and flower seeds for the spring
I love head lettuce...Hanson's improved fills the bill in my growing zone 9
Seeds look great an healthy. I haven't started any seedlings yet because the tropics are starting to awaken. I'm afraid i will lose them. I will update you when I have a chance to start them.
Seeds arrived quickly even though it's the busy season. I also like that the packages they come in reseal after using some of them.
I'm excited to grow this crisp head lettuce. It sounds like just what I'm looking for. I may harvest some as immature leaf lettuce and let some grow out to mature size. As always, the order came in a timely manner and exactly as described.
I gave one to my partner last summer... he said, "WHY DOES THIS TASTE LIKE CHAMPAGNE??"
This variety will be in my garden until I can no longer garden!
I just planted them and they look beautiful so far
Excellent Germination!
One of my favorite things to grow is spinach, I grow mostly in containers so I like to try and get as much as possible out of my small garden. This variety definitely does that. I get massive leaves and fill up a gallon sized ziplock bag relatively quickly every week when the harvest begins.
Germination went very well, popped up within a few days. Growing well!
