Herodotus wrote of lettuce being served in ancient Greece, and it was a favorite vegetable in ancient Rome. In fact, the word \"lettuce\" is derived from the Latin root word \"lac\" meaning \"milk,\" referring to the milky juice found in mature lettuce stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eColumbus and other European explorers brought lettuce seeds to the New World. Our early colonists included lettuce in the first gardens planted in American soil. Today, lettuce is a favorite vegetable here and around the world.\u003cbr\u003e\nOne head of this excellent romaine is just right when you’re making a salad for two. This lettuce produces a blend of tasty green outer leaves and golden blanched inner leaves that taste best when picked minutes before your meal.

The raised beds warm up faster than the surrounding ground, so you should be able to get an earlier start in the spring and a later crop in the fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo make the most of limited garden space, plant lettuce around taller plants like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, peppers, and eggplants. The lettuce helps its neighbor by keeping the surrounding soil moist and cool and keeping weeds shaded out. As the taller plants grow, they provide needed shade for the lettuce as the days get warmer.  Many varieties of lettuce are also welcome additions to ornamental beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Choose a sunny location (6+ hours of sun) and dig a hole about two times as wide as your pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Remove your plant from the pot by loosening the soil and tipping it out into your hand.

Unless there is regular rainfall, lettuce must be watered deeply at least once a week—more frequently during periods of drought. Use a thin layer of mulch to help the soil retain moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLettuce is generally disease and pest free, but you should still be vigilant.  Watch for lettuce rot which first attacks the lower leaves in contact with the soil and then spreads throughout the plant. The best way to prevent diseases is to rotate crops. Don't plant lettuce in the same bed two years in a row.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLettuce can be harvested any time after true leaves form.

You can do the same with butterhead and looseleaf lettuce. To keep the plants in producing longer, harvest only the outer leaves, as needed. Try to harvest in the morning when the leaves are crisp, sweet, and full of moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince lettuce is primarily water, it does not store well.

The ruby red stalks extend into red veins throughout the plant's leaves. Red Swiss chard's flavor profile shares the earthiness of a beet green with the salinity of spinach. The red stalks are fibrous, often bitter and succulent, as they carry the bulk of the plant's water content.

Flavescens, is the common name given to several Red Swiss chard varieties such as Magenta Sunset, Rhubarb and Vulcan. Betalain pigments are found in the stalks and leaves. These pigments are responsible for the plants vivid red colorings. They are also a vital utility for the plant's survival, attracting bees and insects for pollination while also providing natural UV protection. The plant also carries traces of geosmin, which is a volatile molecule displaying a wet-earth and woody aroma. That aroma can be assimilated on the palate, as volatile molecules set off the mouth's taste receptors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNutritional Value\u003cbr\u003e\nChard is known to be a nutritional powerhouse vegetable packed with vitamins, nutrients and health benefits. Red Swiss chard contains high levels of vitamins C, K, E, beta-carotene, calcium and the minerals manganese and zinc. As noted, it also contains betalain. Betalin pigments have repeatedly been shown to support activity within the body's detoxification process, activating and processing unwanted toxic substances. Betalians are not heat-stable, though, so longer cooking times can decrease their presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApplications\u003cbr\u003e\nMost people do not associate Swiss chard varieties with Switzerland, regardless of the given name. As Red Swiss chard is native to the Mediterranean region, many recipes and applications are of Mediterranean influence. Red Swiss chard can be served raw or cooked. It can be sauteed, blanched, stewed, baked, even grilled. It can be added to salads, pastas, pizza, bruschetta, gratins and soups. The chard stalks are edible and add texture and flavor to the dishes they’re cooked into. Complimentary ingredient pairings include citrus, tomatoes, garlic, chickpeas, white beans, aged and melting cheeses, cream, mushrooms, bacon, fennel and herbs such as basil, tarragon and chervil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGeography\/History\u003cbr\u003e\nAs its genus, Beta vulgaris, suggests, chard is, in fact, a beet that has been chosen for leaf production at the expense of root formation. All chard varieties are descendents of the sea beet (B. maritima), a wild seashore plant found growing along the Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts of Europe and North Africa. Red Swiss chard varieties were already being cultivated as a leaf vegetable in Greece circa 400 B.C. Through mutation, varieties have been developed with widened leaf stalks, milder flavor, soil adaptability and disease resistance. Most Red Swiss chard varieties tolerate a wide range of soils and weather conditions with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRecipe Ideas\u003cbr\u003e\nRecipes that include Red Swiss Chard.

For an early summer crop, sow seeds indoors 2 months before the last spring frost; sow them 1\/4\" deep. When the seedlings emerge, thin them to 6\" apart. Four weeks after planting them, set them outside 12\" apart. For a fall crop, direct sow seeds in July. Water the ground, scatter the seeds on the surface, then cover with 1\/3\" of soil. When the seedlings emerge, thin them to 12\" in all directions. Areas with warmer winters may be able to plant a winter crop about two months before the last frost.\u003cbr\u003e\nGrowing Green Curled Ruffec Endive Seeds: Keep the soil moist to prevent toughness or a bitter taste, but avoid getting the leaves wet as this may cause rotting. Mulch helps conserve moisture and control weeds. If desired, blanch the leaves about 2-3 weeks before harvesting by tying together the outer leaves to shade the inner part of the plant. Make sure that the leaves of the plant are completely dry before tying them, or rotting may result.\u003cbr\u003e\nHarvesting Green Curled Ruffec Endive: Cut individual leaves for baby greens as soon as they reach a good size for eating. Cut mature heads off at the base. For additional growth, leave an inch of stem.\u003cbr\u003e\nSaving Green Curled Ruffec Endive Seeds: Endive needs to be overwintered in order to produce seed. For areas with severe winters, this requires cutting the plant down to 2\" and storing the roots in a humid location in damp sand at 33-40 degrees F until spring, when they can be replanted. Endive can survive milder winters with a thick layer of mulch. Allow the plant to flower and go to seed; when the seed heads are dry and the seeds feel dry and firm, spread them out on a surface to dry for at least 10 days. Either plant the seed heads whole or clean them by putting them in a bag and applying pressure with a heavy weight. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place for up to eight years.\u003cbr\u003e\nDetailed Green Curled Ruffec Endive Info: Cichorium endivia. Also known as frisee.
