This will probably be my main market lettuce from now on. Beautiful leaves are quite large and it was the last lettuce to go bitter for me. Very pretty lettuce as well. I let them go to seed but still harvested leaves from them as the bloom stalks were growing and they still tasted quite good as late as mid July.
