| Lettuce: Crispleaf/Head |
For some, this is what lettuce is all about—very crisp, juicy, non-bitter, and unassertive...often a blanched head that actually crunches if you bite into it. Some varieties develop as open rosettes until full maturity, with well-pigmented bite sized leaves perfect for hefty salad mix. Leaves can be very fancy at the young-cut age, and heavy salad for its size. Oregon Tilth Certified Organic Seed

Cougar Batavian  
A smooth, svelt, bronzed batavian lettuce with a crisp juicy texture, sweet in the heat of summer for cutting mix or fresh market heads with creamy hearts. We found this as an errant seedling in a flat of unrelated lettuce. It appears to be one of our batavian types crossed to 'Brown Goldring'--and it tastes that way too. Uniform heads with bronze slightly ruffled leaf margins. pricing and more

Red Ball Jets
When I was a young kid, everyone wore Red Ball Jets on their feet. Summer started with a new pair, and ended with your toes poking through the canvas. The Red Ball in the center of every sole could make you “run faster and jump higher”—perhaps the first claim for athletic enhancement via shoes. Looking down on a maturing bed of this new intensely red lettuce, its round, savoyed, ruffle-edged... pricing and more
