Crawford Lettuce and Romain Lettuce

Crawford Lettuce and Romain Lettuce

Started lettuce seeds in October. Crawford lettuce is actually a Romain lettuce, so the title of this should be Crawford Lettuce and traditional Romain Lettuce? Why does the spelling of lettuce look wrong to me right now?

The cool part about growing these two lettuce varieties is that they are both heirloom. After the lettuce bolts, it produces a flower and then a seed. I cut off the stalks and store in a brown paper bag. Viola! Plant the next year!

Lettuce status just over a month later later in mid November. It is time to thin.
