If you have a "Green" That you highly recommend to others, share the variety and vendor here for others if t hey would like to try something new.
From members:
Salad Bowl Loose Leaf(red or Green)
This makes a fantastically rewarding project for anyone trying a custom project for the first time.
Parris Island Cos Lettuce
Salad Bowl Lettuce
about 4-5 seeds in a pod.
Machine: ANY
Germinates in 2-4 days and you are harvesting in 3-4 weeks.
Seeds are all over the internet.
use 2 ml AG nutes for all machines because lettuce hardly takes any nutrients to thrive.
Vendors are all over the internet.
EXTRA DWARF BOC CHOI
Shiro Pac Choi
Also on Amazon
You can see a project I grew under my garden space on the forum.
All seeds planted germinated and grew successfully.
Plants are small, but green and lush with watery crunchy stems..ideal for a raw salad.
Taste is on the usual bitter herb side as Choi always is.
Can be stir fried briefly and seasoned well with spices and fish sauce to disguise that bitterness if preferred.
a sturdy Romaine Variety with long leaves which do not wilt when wet.
taste is mildly bitter yet pleasant.

TATSOI(TAT CHOI)
This is a SWEET relative of the Pak Choi. Eaten raw it is tender and w/o the sharp tang of the raw Pac Choi. It is also cut and come again. 1 seed per pod produces a big plant.
Seeds available all over at sites like Burpee Seed.
