Can anyone reccomend any other top quality coloured lettuces ?

I have

Pandero
Nymans
Bijou
Red velvet
Red Rubin

and the normal ones, red and green salad bowl etc

many thanks 8)

I have been very happy with Red Fire, having tried a few different red ones before settling on these. My lettuce crops now tend to consist of little gem and red fire in the main.

what type is that curry ? and supplier please

Swit swoo, lovely photographs :P ::)
I will be using Franchi's mixed chicory as a catch crop this year.

I grew Australian Yellowleaf last year...it was really tasty and grew very well: The Real Seed Company.

Just want to say how beautiful those lettuce pics are....sooooo decorative and edible too!

H.P.

amphy - at what time of year were those photos taken? All at the same time?

And do any survive into the winter?

Yellowleaf, aga? Yes - remember my photo - which is now in the catalogue - of the 4' lettuce!!

Ooops... the pictures aren't mine, they are courtesy of google image. I am a photographer, so if I had taken the pictures they'd have been far better.  :P

Tim: We sowed into late autumn, but had eaten everything by winter itself, so I am a afraid I honestly don't know if they'd survive into winter. You can't grow much in winter at my allotment, as the deer get far more aggresive in their food foraging. In summer a simple piece of net keeps them off, in winter they pull, rip, trample anything in their way.

Thanks. And of course!!

Is it true that bunches of human hair dissuade deer?

Yes, foxes too (though these urban types probably don't care). I need to get some more hair from the hairdressers, but I am very shy.

Apparently human urine is good too.

By the way - found Pablo very reliable last year. Delicate colouring.Sadly no photo.

Tim...sorry I don't remember the pic...would love to see it though. Mine grew really well...not that well tho' ;D I remember they were a very soft lettuce but with a lot of flavour and grew exceptionally wide ;D

I am trying "Drunken Woman", amongst others, this year, twas the name that sold it to me! ;D ;D

;D ;D ;D DP, which seed merchant(s)?

Sprout I got them from Tuckers, if you wan't to give them a go I can send you a few, just PM me your address.
Now looking for one called Chardonnay!  Hehehehehehe ;D
