If you don’t have these, and would like to try some, just drop me a note-I’m sure I have some extra seed flying around: -“Slug’s Favorite”-a delightful, loose-leaf variety of lettuce, bursting with extra-crinkly, deep green leaves. Each little crinkle provides a hiding place for the aeighborhood baby slugs, some of which you will find in the dressing after you have finished your salad. Nice if you like meat with your vegetables. -“Sure-to-Seed”-an old favorite spinach, slow to germinate, shy to form rosettes, but then taking off with unbelievable vigor and going straight to seed, before you get more than a serving or two.
