I have been growing an heirloom lettuce for several years now. It's called French Heirloom lettuce and I got the seed from an exchange on GardenWeb. I love it and it's beautiful. It has green and kind of a rusty red leaf. It grows nice and big even though I use the cut and come again method of harvesting. It just keeps producing nice big leaves. Eventually goes into a rosette. Great taste and easy to grow in the cooler weather times. I save seeds from it every year and plan on putting them on my seed exchange page soon. I would love to trade for other heirloom veggies, especially Amish Paste Tom. and maybe that great looking gray zucchini I saw on this thread or whatever tastes great. I have some young ones growing now for fall and plan to take a picture of them soon. I went to the Italian Seed Co. others have posted and I see two there that remind me for this great lettuce. Anyone like to try it??
