This lettuce is the best I've ever had! Crisp green leaves from the bottom to the top. Last season was my second season ever gardening in my 70 years and after eating this I cannot eat any other, which reminds me, I need to stock up on seeds. Last season I dedicated one of my 4'x8' raised beds just for this lettuce. There is nothing better than picking fresh lettuce everyday for a salad or to put in sandwiches. I brought some to a family members cookout and what a mistake that was. I had over a dozen people wanting my lettuce all the time with each person describing it the same way I did

Very easy to grow from seed. Beautiful Romaine lettuce and very tasty in salads. We love growing this in the cool growing season.

Was really excited to plant these as I heard these were the easiest to grow. I planted them in early fall, and germination was good and fast, however the seedlings would not grow past a few inches. Conditions were perfect, but they just would not grow.
The seedlings stayed at a couple of inches all throughout fall, into winter and spring.
All my other seed packets have been perfect, but I am very disappointed with these.
