Black-seeded Simpson Lettuce

I am really loving this lettuce.

Goooooo Team! Sorry James, you wouldn't look good in a cheerleading outfit.

Nice looking lettuce, but I prefer butterhead or romaine over loose leaf.

OK, now the shoe is on the other foot and it's my turn to envy your harvest.

My lettuce has been out the garden for weeks now due to heat issues. I can't wait for fall and my next planting of several lettuces and other salad greens.

I'm hating to get out in the garden now and only do so early in the a.m.

I just finished the last of the spinach, the radishes are done, and the lettuce will be gone in a couple of days. We will have to use chard and beet greens now. Cucumbers and zucchini are a ways off still.

I think I got mine in late. it is not nearly that size and it is bitter tasting :(

I heard great things about black seeded simpson, but I'm bummed that I didn't get to taste it when it tasted good.
