5.0 out of 5 stars Romaine Lettuce Is Delicious And So Easy To Grow! I Recommend it Highly!, January 10, 2010

This lettuce has been the easiest vegetable I have grown, along with spinach. Both just sprang right up from seeds. It came up fast and is producing much faster than I had expected.

I did have to get some "safe" spray because there were gnat-like things flying around and I wanted to make sure not to spray my lettuce with anything I didn't want to eat later. The carrots nearby may have attracted those flying creatures. Oh well. That happens. My Romaine Parris Lettuce looks BEAUTIFUL and tastes delicious.

I started by soaking the seeds in water and then planted them in a heated seed-starting tray with a heated mat and it's self-watering. That made it easy, even for me! As soon as the seeds sprouted, I transferred them to the Earth Box and almost all of my seeds/seedlings are doing well.

I wish I had planted more, but I sure am enjoying it, although it's almost too pretty to pick. Next time I'm going to plant much more of it.

I used these in my AeroGarden and they worked wonderfully, I'm looking forward to using these seeds in my out door garden.

I tilled a little space in my garden, added some new soil and then planted a handful of seeds in three rows. Two weeks later they're growing! It's very exciting and they grow so quickly with very little maintenance needed! I water them every morning before work.
