Green Deer Tongue Lettuce

My favorite lettuce for years

I only give it 4 stars because I haven't been able to get the seed to germinate for the last couple of years. I don't know if it is my soil or what...but I keep trying as it is one of the most flavorful leaf lettuces we've grown.

Impressive first planting

This is my first year planting this lettuce but I like it very much so far. I planted it in early June, mid 80° days, and got a decent germination rate. It grew quickly, thrived in the heat, and I've been picking it for a few weeks in 95°-105° days. Stiil sweet, crisp, and no sign of bolting. Will definitely plant again.

Not sprouting

I have tried this twice under a grow light where all of my other veggies get started. This won’t even sprout.
