Revolution Lettuce
by Kathy Purdy on July 8, 2008

From Fedco: “Revolution Lettuce OG (48 days) . . . As rich a red lollo rossa as anyone could ask for. The intensely colored deeply frilled 10-12″ leaves are thick and crunchy. And this Revolution can hold a very long time without developing much bitterness.”
Kathy Purdy discovered the joys of writing in fourth grade, when she started corresponding with a former classmate. She's been writing letters ever since, first on looseleaf, then electronically, and now as weblog entries. That makes you, the blog reader, her pen pal. Her first independent (though frustrating) attempts at gardening were made in high school, though the gardening bug didn't bite hard until her mid-thirties, when she found herself mistress of a rural home on 15 acres. •
