Goose Lettuce

What’s not to like? This looseleaf lettuce variety matures early, has a deliciously sweet taste and excellent texture, and looks spectacular, with lush green leaves tinged with red. Plants reach 7-9" in height and 12-16" in diameter at market maturity. Listed for years on the Exchange by Arkansas resident John Small, this lettuce was a staple in the garden of John’s great uncle, Joseph Bremer, a country doctor who, as John recalls, tended an “unusually productive garden which always included ‘Goose’ lettuce.” Seed Savers Exchange previously offered this variety in its 1997 Spring catalog. Looseleaf, 50-60 days. Organic.
