Rubens Red Lettuce

Rubens Red(?)

From Seeds of Change: “Deep burgundy, sweet and juicy savoyed leaves with an emerald-green base. A cool weather variety, so plant in early spring or late summer.” We wish more suppliers would carry this variety.

About

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. • USDA Hardiness Zone:4 • AHS Heat Zone: 3 • Location: rural; Southern Tier of NY • Geographic type: foothills of Appalachian Mountains • Soil Type: acid clay • Experience level: intermediate • Particular interests: colchicums, narcissus, cottage gardening, NY native plants, gardening with/for children

A writer who gardens is sooner or later going to write a book about the subject--I take that as inevitable.
