Rick, don't smack me but I've never eaten lettuce other than iceberg. How different do the lettuces taste? I really wonder if the "butter " lettuces have that taste.
Thank you. I would have offered more reds, but as I was going through my stash of seeds, I realized I didn't have many red crosses...it would seem my reds and purples didn't set pods very well this year. Next year I should have a bunch more, though, because there are several red daylilies that I purchased after their bloom season last year, but they will hopefully bloom this year.
To answer your question about lettuces, iceberg is actually the least flavorful lettuce (and least nutritious). I prefer romaines, spinach (if you count that), and butterhead.
(There is one I can't stand that always comes in spring mixes but I can never pinpoint which leaf it is I don't like. ...probably radicchio, though. )
