Winter density (green) and Forellenschluss (red speckled). Both are romaine.

the red speckled one is kinda scary, it looks like it's covered in blood.

It's great I love the texture.

[–] thrawn21@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

They look fantastic!

[–] Grass@geddit.social 3 points 2 years ago

Those are actually excellent

Amazing! Mine did not make it this year. But my Kale went wild!

[–] bowreality@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

I didn’t plant kale but the Swiss chard is coming as well.

We had some really bad rain recently and the lettuces that didn't drown (or didn't get smashed by hail), suffocated in the following heatwave, two days later. Enjoy your lettuces!!!

Ugh!!! I know that’s part of gardening but that really sucks!

I have that same lettuce, but always label it as “spotted lettuce” because there’s no chance I can spell or pronounce that name.

[–] bowreality@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Totally! They sell it here as Freckles (which is actually a cute name!) as well. It’s an old Austrian variety and I find the name nice and unique. I also speak German so I have an unfair advantage.
