Although I have four lettuce varieties in my garden that I prefer the taste of, they start to look pretty sad at about 24F. This lettuce, however, has had a 17F degree night and is edible a half-hour after the temps reach 32F. I can safely plant it alongside kale and mache for the winter garden. I'd rank this as a must variety for cold-weather gardeners.

This is the first time I have ever grown lettuce and what a difference from store bought! We planted late in the season, about April 20, and it began bolting about July 7 because of a series of days in the 90's. We picked the outer leaves at first for our salads then finally cut the entire head. This variety is almost melt in the mouth tender and very tasty! I will plant again in late summer for a fall/winter crop and will update my review for how well it grows then.

I directly sowed this seed into raised beds inside a Hoop House the first Week of October 2012. As of late January 2013, this lettuce is doing amazingly well and we've had plenty of freezing night temperatures. I would agree with the other poster's comments about this lettuce. No problems with pests or disease. Very tasty in salads and sandwiches.

A wonderful Lettuce! It is tasty and so easy to grow. I've been harvesting leaves from each plant for a few weeks now and the plants are still going strong! No pest or disease problems.

Planted this lettuce in the fall and harvested in the spring. Very resilient to cold conditions. Great in salads!
