Tried Paradai and Cherokee both for the first time last year. Performed very well in our late summer heat (Puget Sound), which is probably more like late spring
in other parts of the US. Was surprised at how long they both held and how deep the color was. Unfortunately, that deep red, almost solid burgundy color was actually off-putting to our clientele. They chose New Red Fire (my staple red) 10-1 over either of
the other reds. Kate Halstead In the long view, no nation is healthier than its children, or more prosperous than its farmers. --Harry Truman From: market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org]
On Behalf Of Carla Maness I haven't tried that particular lettuce, but we've had really good luck with all of the Summer Crisp varieties. My favorites are Nevada and Cherokee, but the one that outperforms both of those has been Sierra. It's not as pretty, but it
handles both heat and cold better than any other lettuce we've tried. We get seed for Sierra from Rupp. Carla Perkins, OK On Wed, Mar 14, 2012 at 8:00 PM, Richard Stewart <rstewart AT zoomtown.com> wrote: I have a very specific question regarding this topic... |
