Overall Taste Yield Ease	Winneshiek, Iowa, United States Frost Free Season: 123 - 143 days Soil Texture: Loam Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
Remarkably bolt resistant! Out of ~30 lettuce varieties grown this year, this one bolted last and by a wide margin. It withstood the heat of summer very well. Leaves are somewhat thicker are not terribly tender. Flavor is good with some bitterness in the inner whorl of leaves. Green loose-leaf type with undulating leaf margins and slightly blistered leaf surface.
