I love this post. I always grow butter head and romaine but can't remember exactly which varieties. I've been wanting to get some recommendations though so this is perfect. I definitely want to try Freckles and Nevada. I'll check out Pinetree for these... Hi! I love this post. I always grow butter head and romaine but can’t remember exactly which varieties.

I haven't had a chance to do much with the soil here yet but my guess is that it is not ready for growing so that will be the first thing I tend to when it starts warming up.

I just helped our daughter and son-in-law move from Idaho Falls to Seattle, driving through Boise--it looks like a lovely place to live and garden.

I would love to see HG display gardens, they sound amazing. I remember going to the Denver Botanical Garden years ago and it was amazing to me too. I receive HG catalog each year but have never placed an order yet. Your write-up just might be my tipping point...I think I am going to have to try them this year! I'm in the Boise area, Z6 so I think I'm well suited for HG! Thanks for the post! Hi there! I would love to see HG display gardens, they sound amazing.

So often we memorize what the males look like, but not the harder-to-distinguish females. Yet half the birds out there are females. Does that help? Here’s a hint: they are both female birds.

I would say they are not the same and that the bottom one might be a female house finch ( oh I am so going to be wrong on these!) Or maybe they are male/female couple of something..... Oh fun!
