A very impressive article about Little Gem in the Food and Arts magazine. Lapped up every word and have got in on my list for seeds for next year. Love lettuces and grow all kinds in my urban garden. Love to read about the history of a seed. hear the story and find that it has survived!

It’s shame – I’m going to pay more attention to names of vegetables so that I can join in this kind of conversation! It’s possible that I’ve been eating this Little Gems without realizing it is… xD

I didn’t know it was a hybrid of romaine and butter lettuce. It’s such a perfect size though. No wonder it’s irresistible.

Nice story! I know I’ve heard the name of this lettuce before, and I know I’ve seen it on restaurant menus, but I don’t believe I’ve actually seen this in stores. I should look, though – it might be there, and I just haven’t bought it because I was looking for other lettuces. Good info – thanks.

Have a good week:)
