So, are you telling me these 2 different species of lettuce can cross
pollinate? I had 2 of each in different pots but since you told me, I now
have 1 of each that are sitting about 20 feet apart.


Yes, unfortunately lettuce crosses very easily. The forum at
SeedSavers can offer some help with protecting and saving your seeds,
so that your results will fulfill your wishes.


Thanks I'll give it a look, and in the mean time put as much distance
between the 2 species as possible : )
