Lettuce – Devil’s Tongue (Organic)
£1.98 Add to basketLettuce – Devil’s Tongue (Organic)
A dark red spring lettuce with tapered cos-like leaves forming loose heads at maturity. Bred by lettuce breeding wizard Frank Morton, this variety has a very buttery texture and thick leaves.
This is not a pure-line variety, as evidenced by its black and white seeds, but a multiline “landrace” of similar looking (but genetically distinct) sub-lines. Most of our ancestors’ staple crops, their legumes and grains, were also multi-lines. The genetic diversity of these farmer-varieties was the original crop insurance against the vagaries of nature.

Extremely productive red cherry tomato bred for its fine flavour. This is a farm-original variety which we have bred by ‘dehybridising’ a popular F1 variety. We have been stabilising the line for 5 years and think its ready to send out into the world now!
The plants have been selected each year for the best flavour and excellent productivity. One of our volunteers thought that the fruits tasted like mango so we named it Mango Lassi. We hope you enjoy it. We would appreciate any feedback you have on it.
