Super Red forms a loose head with a spectacular magenta red colour. The open style heads are medium to larger in size with deeply lobed leaves. This makes a great baby leaf variety and makes any salad come alive! Slow to bolt in summer heat and keeps its mild, non-bitter flavour. Colour is best in cooler weather but stands up well in summer. Upright growth habit. CULTURE: Lettuce is a sun-loving cool weather crop that grows best in organic, well drained soil. Sow as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, then every two weeks thereafter to ensure a continuous supply. Sow about 3 mm (1/8″) deep in rows 45 cm (18″) apart. An even supply of moisture during the entire growth period is imperative for success. Harvest leaf lettuce by either pulling the entire plant or by cutting leaves from the main stem at least 2.5 cm (1″) above the base – this will allow the plant to sprout new leaves. Harvest head lettuce by cutting the head off at the base just below the lower leaves. Once lettuce bolts (starts to produce a rapidly growing flower stem) leaves become bitter.

Russian tarragon can be used fresh or dried in cooking, adding a subtle, sweet licorice flavor to dishes like salads, chicken, seafood, egg dishes, and soups. It also flavors marinades, dressings, and herb-infused vinegars and is used in some traditional Persian, Hungarian, and Armenian dishes, as well as a component of the popular Russian and Georgian carbonated drink, Tarkhun. However, note that Russian tarragon can break down faster than French tarragon, so it may need to be added later in the cooking process to preserve its flavor.
