This 1940s variety is one of the slowest to go to seed. Heat tolerant with a pleasant flavor that won't go bitter. Ideal for growing in southern regions with hot summers. This variety is loose leafed and perfect for a cut and comes again garden.
Very good experience, love this company
I grew this lettuce in May and it was good until early July. I put a 40% shade cloth over them and didn’t blot. However, the flavor was a bit bitter in July due to the heat waves. I still recommend as an early summer crop and an early fall crop.
So I live in Florida where you typically cannot grow lettuce during the summer, this plant somehow decided to go through ALL OF SUMMER and then decided to cooler wether is when it was gonna bolt.
There were major aphid issues on the one I was growing so I didn’t get to eat much of it but it tasted okay, almost didn’t have a real taste to it to be honest
Great seeds
So glad I found this lettuce. In zone 10a and grew great for me.
This is my first year growing straw flower. The germination rate is fantastic and you get so many seeds. Can't wait till they can moved outdoors and bloom in my purple flower bed.
Everything but the royal paste sprouted. Sometimes that happens. Will place another order for fall planting.
This variety was excellent for me for cooking. I needed to pick fewer leaves and chopping was a breeze. The spinich felt more succulent and thicker than the American (smaller spoon shaped leaves). I would use it for cooking and keep the smaller leaved varieties for raw salad eating. My weather was a tricky early on and off again spring and winter pattern, so I think that triggered early bolting, but even still. It was pretty hands off and worth it.
Awesome producer and neat looking fruit! The abundant cucumber beetles seem to ignore the vines too!
Haven’t planted yet. Looking forward to adding to salads! So happy MIgarden had these. Hard to find Microgreen seeds
