This page lists vegetables that are grown or have been grown by the author.  It is not meant as a complete list of all vegetables types available. As you can see this part of the website is still very much under construction.  Hopefully it will eventually list two or three dozen vegetable varieties.

Very hardy lettuce with tall light green leaves with pointy tips and a pronounced ribbed structure. It combines the crisp texture of an icicle lettuce with the hardiness of some of the older lettuce varieties such as Oak Leaf.     MORE
