Can't say any of these are my favorites, like Big Boston or Prizehead or Oaky Red Splash.
This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy was my first dog and he thought the garden was his, even though I did all the work. Now Suzie and Charley follow in his footsteps. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6A). I have a community plot, a backyard vegetable garden, fruit trees, berry bushes, chickens, and bees. I use sustainable organic methods and do my best to grow all of my family's vegetables myself.

lettuce varieties
I wanted to record photos of the lettuce varieties I am growing this fall. They are a nice mix of colors. All except the Simpson did well with the summer heat. The Simpson bolted and I had to harvest it before the head was full. I think the Skyphos has grown the slowest, maybe because it was under the squash leaves when it was small. I think it may also be the prettiest.
Butterhead Green Ermosa

Red Summer Crisp Teide and Black Seeded Simpson

This year my garden down the drain with my 3 weeks of travel in no rain season and blight on tomatoes mildew on squash but even than nature gave me some good crab :]
I probably will be moving to Seattle this year so will not be doing any fall gardening as I was planning.
