Bronze Arrow is the variety. These seem remarkably pest resistant!

Any tips? It's looking good!

Happy to say I didn’t do anything special. First year I’ve done lettuce in that bed, which is the best combo of hugelcutur soil and full sun I have. It’s seed from Johnny’s. The cultivar seems very hardy and ready to produce.

Does pest resistant include rats? I had some kind of critter nibbling at my romaine. Rats are my best guess.

[–] Mpeach45 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rabbits are more likely. Rats prefer other things.

Bugs of some kind are most likely.

I’ll fondly hope it was bunnies :D Never seen them close to here and I know we have rats :(
