Paula Thomas's Food and Photography Blog. Thursday, April 23, 2015. This Year's Lettuce Varieties. It is what allowed me to plant more kale. Since they are getting close to harvest I am able to post a photo to go along with each one. I started them all indoors in February and transplanted them into the garden in March. I had a little trouble with germination on the Paris Island Cos and only ended up with 3 plants. They all made it through a couple of frosts with no problem. Batavian Full Heart Escarole.

Paula Thomas's Food and Photography Blog. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. This Year's Kale Varieties. I love having different varieties and who knew there were so many varieties of kale to choose from and so many names for the same variety. There are only a few that I've seen at the grocery store (dinosaur, red russian and curly). Baker Creek. Where I got most of my seeds from this year, has 9 different varieties to choose from while Territorial Seed. This is a newer variety I received from Mike the Gardener.
