I planted Pinetree Winter Lettuce Mix last fall, mid-September. Started harvesting young leaves in October, and kept it up until true cold arrived in mid-November. I covered them with row cover for the winter.

I uncovered them on 3/16, watered them well, and within 5 days had resumed my daily harvesting. Out of all the different types of lettuce I have tried over-wintering -- black-seeded Simpson, Buttercrunch, Oak-leaf, etc, this mix has worked out the best. And we had a brutal winter, enormous amount of snow, sub-zero temps, sub-freezing temps for weeks on end, etc.

I sent a letter of congrats to Pinetree, and you can be sure I ordered more of this mix for upcoming fall/winter!
