    Haven't tried seeding this yet

    I plan on direct sowing these seeds into my community garden plot as soon as it is open...the other seeds I have gotten from Botanical Interests have done well, so I have no doubt these will do well, too.

    Vivian Romaine

    Rating as 2 stars because it didn't do well for me but being totally honest none of the Romaines I tried did well so perhaps it's my zone, not the seeds.

    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
