Should I plant tennis ball lettuce, romaine lettuce or both?

Quoted:
Down south I plan on planting next month Gotta get my seeds ready Romaine takes 65 days to mature Late August is the right time to plant a fall garden, one of the few weather advantages of living in the South. I like leaf lettuce because it's hard for the bugs to ruin the whole thing (if you're keeping an eye out). With head lettuce, you get a borer in there, and they've took out the fruit of a whole plant. And you can't see it in there until too late. We always plant Black seeded Simpson, never planted Romaine, don't know why, but I would imagine it's about the same. If you like greens and salads, I would encourage you to plant some Spinach at the same time. Awesome in a salad! |
