I love this lettuce blend!,
October 1, 2009 Submitted byAramis83 from Louisville, KY
"I cannot say enough great things about this lettuce. Granted we've had a cool summer this year, but I planted it all season long (and still have it growing) and not once did it bolt. We've enjoyed all the delicious mixed green salads. I only regret not planting more of it. I didnt' get that much of the red lettuce, but it's more bitter anyway so that is no great loss. It seemed to do well with pests too. The only bad guys I had to fight were slugs, easily managed with a dusting of egg shells at the base of each plant. Highly reccommend!"

Favorite Lettuce Mix,
August 19, 2009 Submitted bysocalsweetpea73 from Anaheim, CA
"I have tried other lettuce mixes and this is by far my favorite. I did get bolting during the heat of the summer but partly because I had planted so much that I didn't keep up with it. This will be kept year-round in my garden from now on."

Great for Southern Gardens,
August 23, 2008 Submitted byKahla from Ft Lauderdale
"This is an excellent lettuce to grow in Southern Florida. It does not bolt in the heat and produces all winter long. It has a sweet light taste and is excellent eaten alone or in a light salad. It is not susceptible to any insects and therefore do not need to treat with pesticides. I highly recommend this brand."

Great lettuce,
July 31, 2008 Submitted byAppalachianDoc from Middle South
"I've had tremendous production with successive sowings of Heat Wave lettuce. The flavors of the different sorts work well together. I cut bottom leaves, and the plants continue to add new ones, so even my oldest plants are still producing. Although we've had a lot of 90's degree days, the lettuce doesn't seem to mind a bit. Besides economy and taste, the home grown lettuce appeals to me because I KNOW there are no harmful bacteria, pesticides, or herbicides on it. If you plant this, be prepared to harvest a great deal of lettuce."

Very Easy!,
June 28, 2008 Submitted byChestnut from Northwest, OH
"I got great lettuce out of this packet! I sowed a row every two weeks and am still getting lots of lettuce from the older rows. I was disappointed my lettuce blend doesn't look like the picture though: I got Crispy Frills, Royal Oak Leaf and Salad Bowl just fine; Lollo Rossa was a very slow grower and leaves got never got bigger than 2"--they were also green with reddish brown near the edge not the deep red that's in Burpee's picture . My perfect Little Caesar romaine was smooth leaved vs. the bumpy leaves in Burpee's picture. I don't think I got any Matchless.
Anyhoo, this is still easy to grow and provides lots of mild flavor for salads and sandwiches, etc."

Salad for breakfast,
June 7, 2007 Submitted byFinny from San Jose, CA
"One packet of these seeds has produced enough lettuce for us to have salad with dinner every night of the week! I am resowing so that we have a chance of having lettuce when the tomatoes ripen. This is a great variety of flavors - any random handful produces a beautiful and delicious salad. And so far, no bitterness or bolting. Will order again for sure. Easy from seed, just sow, water and harvest. Absolutely NO insect issues so far either."
