Growing Red Romaine Lettuce

May 03, 2014 This is the first year I’ve grown Red Romaine Lettuce. It tastes GREAT !!! The leaves seem to pretty much grow straight up, and makes picking individual leaves much easier than the Green Romaine. The one “downside” if you call it that, is that the Red Romaine is not as thick as the Green, and does not crisp-up as much as the Green. The fantastic flavor of the Red MORE than makes up for it not getting as crispy as the Green. As you can see in this photo (from left to right), the Red Romaine, Green Romaine, and Spinach are all doing wonderful. A great healthy salad doesn’t get any fresher than this.
