| This, and Grandpa Admires, were two of the first heirlooms with which we had early success. We are convinced that Red Salad Bowl is at its absolute best in the fall - though early spring crops are also good. This variety has survived winters under cover and was picked as late as Thanksgiving last year when it was given just a little row cover help. Frilly, deeply notched leaves that make a nice aesthetic companion with Gold Rush in a salad. It is not recommended that you try this during warmer parts of the season as its taste is not as good as in the fall. While it is supposed to resist bolting, we don't feel it holds as well as many other lettuces. |
