Lactuca sativa. Red Leaf. 30 days baby; 55 full. We ventured into our first attempt at lettuce breeding with this gem of an ultra red leaf. A little opportunistic to start, we discovered a few off types in one lot of Revolution lettuce. Over a few years, we have stabilized it, and like it more…

Lactuca sativa. Red Leaf. 60 days. A delicious and hardy loose leaf lettuce. You know what you’re getting by the name: Red-Tinged Winter lettuce shows a tinge of red on its ruffled green leaves. Though it is clearly noted as a winter variety, we find it to be a good lettuce much of the year….
Lactuca sativa. Mini Red Romaine. 30 days baby; 55 full. Named for one of the most abundant, and boldly colored, birds of North America. The name was inspired by a flock of RWBLs (yes, we are bird-nerds!) that moved in to glean the remnants of our sunflower seed crop while our first crop of this…

Lactuca sativa. Green Crisphead. 45-55 days. A vibrant green, summer crisphead variety. There are so many names for this type of lettuce – summer crisp, crispleaf – and we prefer crisphead because they all make a nice crispy head. This is very true for Victoria Batavian. We spent several years trialing summer lettuce varieties and,…

Levisticum officinale. Perennial in zones 3-9. With an appearance similar to its celery relative, lovage has a lovely fragrance and a sweet herbal flavor to match.
