Black Seeded Simpson, Day 19
Apparently this is one of the best-selling varieties of leaf lettuce over the past 150 years. It's an heirloom vegetable, which must mean it has some quasi-historical significance, much like a '72 Ford Gran Torino with antique plates. Sure, it's an old car, but, antique? C'mon, now.
Nevertheless, it's an heirloom variety and it's growing pretty well. As with most seedlings in the grange, it looks a little top heavy but it should straighten up. It's a cool-weather plant so the next few days of 90 degree weather will certainly be a challenge. With plenty of water and a little shade, it should pull through.
