I planted mesclun last year as opposed to a specific lettuce ... but I may try one of these different ones this year ... I have an aversion to iceberg:

I detest iceberg lettuce! I love romaine.

planted mesclun last year

I did so as well. Every few days, gave them a hair cut and put them in the salad spinner. Good eats! I couldn't find the seeds I liked from last year so sowed the few left over and bought another brand so don't know if I'll like the mix. I did plant some bibb though.

Beans, carrots, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, mesclun, various greens are sprouting. Tomatoes and peppers have been transplated from last years' seeds. Need to get squash and peas in the ground tomorrow and that should be everything. Well, need to start some herbs.
