Hi All,

Zone 6c. very short growing season.

I have a spot open in next years plan that I'd
like to fill with (leaf) lettuce.

Any recommendations?

Many thanks,

New Red Fire.

Looks gorgeous and tastes just dandy. It has some decent
frost-tolerance as well.

I'm growing some in a pot on my deck right now to use up
some leftover seeds. Even after a bit of sleet and snow
this week, it's still looking okay.

Nyssa, who can do without the sleet and snow this early
in the season


Thank you!

You're welcome!

If you'd like to see a picture of a potful of New Red Fire
lettuce, you can visit http://logicalinsight.net and see
for yourself. Look under In the Garden and the article on
"pot farming"....no not THAT kind of pot!

Nyssa, who will be adding more gardening articles to the site
in coming months


Hi Nyssa,

Oh that is red!

How would you describe the taste?

What kind of soil does it like? How much water does
it like?

Can I occasionally rip off some leaves, or should I
harvest the whole thing at once?

Does it grow back?

Many thanks,
