Delicious. No garden is complete without Red Leaf Romaine Lettuce. This is a wonderful heirloom variety with good old-fashioned taste. 

First known to be cultivated in the eastern Mediterranean region and western Asia, lettuce has a long and distinguished history dating back to 4500 BC where ancient Greeks and Romans consumed lettuce for its therapeutic medicinal properties. Christopher Columbus is credited for bringing lettuce to North America and missionaries planted lettuce in California in the 17th century. It wasn’t until the invention of refrigerated railcars that lettuce became available throughout the United States adding to its increased popularity.

Red romaine lettuce has long crunchy spoon shaped leaves that start green and fade to profuse purple/red.  Leaves are12" tall and the plant is about 10-12" wide.

 This lettuce is often used in Caesar salads for its crunch and color. Use red romaine lettuce for incredible edible purple borders in your flower beds.

 This is a great seller at farmers markets for its color and holds up well under transport.

TIP:  Remember if you are growing lettuce in the heat, plant them where they will get afternoon shade.  Lettuce is a spring and fall crop in really hot areas.  Lettuce also like moist rich soil!

Seeds can be sown directly into garden when soil is warm or started in containers and transplanted.  This can be grown nicely in containers and clay pots.

We are a small family run seed processor that has a long tradition of farming for many generations. I fondly remember my Grandfather telling stories about his Grandfather tilling the earth and the events that impacted his success. The stories bring to life the courage and creativity required to survive capricious weather and market prices. Our history makes it clear that the rewards of farming, including the birthing of the calves, the bounty of a good harvest, and the family's feeling of being rooted in the soil. I still remember with pride, getting to sit on my Grandfathers lap while driving the tractor for the first time during corn harvest.
 
In addition to commercial crops, most family farms also have large gardens to grow much of the food consumed on a farm. Growing your own vegetables, flowers, spices and herbs, canning and freezing were a normal part of life on the farm. We always saved seed from each plant for starting the cycle for the next year. We would like the opportunity to share some of these seeds with you.
