Crisp, Tender Salad Greens

Black Seeded Simpson produces beautiful light green, frilly leaves with a crisp texture and mild, sweet flavor. The tender leaves are perfect for:

  • Fresh garden salads and mixed greens
  • Sandwiches and wraps
  • Burgers and tacos
  • Lettuce cups and wraps
  • Smoothies and green juices
  • Garnishes

Heat Tolerant for Extended Harvest

Unlike many leaf lettuces that bolt quickly in warm weather, Black Seeded Simpson is slower to bolt, providing a longer harvest window. This heat tolerance makes it an excellent choice for gardeners in warmer climates or for late spring/early summer plantings.

Cut-and-Come-Again Harvesting

One of the best features of Black Seeded Simpson is its ability to regrow after harvesting. Simply cut outer leaves 1-2 inches above the crown, and the plant will continue producing new leaves for weeks. This method provides:

  • Continuous fresh lettuce from fewer plants
  • Extended harvest period
  • Maximum yield per square foot
  • Fresh salads for weeks from a single planting

Perfect for Container Gardening

Black Seeded Simpson's compact size and shallow roots make it ideal for container growing. Plant in pots, window boxes, or raised beds for fresh lettuce on patios, balconies, or small spaces. Use containers at least 6-8 inches deep with good drainage.

Succession Planting for Continuous Harvest

For fresh lettuce all season long, practice succession planting:

  • Sow new seeds every 2 weeks from early spring through late summer
  • Plant in spring and again in late summer for fall harvest
  • In mild climates, grow through winter with protection
  • Stagger plantings to avoid gluts and gaps

Harvesting Tips for Best Quality

  • Baby Greens: Harvest when leaves are 3-4 inches tall (20-30 days)
  • Mature Leaves: Harvest outer leaves when 6-8 inches tall (45-50 days)
  • Whole Head: Cut entire plant 1-2 inches above soil for regrowth
  • Best Time: Harvest in morning when leaves are crisp and cool
  • Storage: Wash, dry thoroughly, and refrigerate in sealed container for up to 1 week

Heirloom Variety Since the 1850s

Black Seeded Simpson has been a beloved garden variety for over 170 years. Its enduring popularity is testament to its reliable performance, excellent flavor, and adaptability. As an open-pollinated heirloom, you can save seeds from your harvest to grow year after year.

Companion Planting

Black Seeded Simpson grows well with:

  • Beneficial Companions: Carrots, radishes, beets, onions, strawberries, cucumbers
  • Avoid Planting Near: Parsley (competes for nutrients)

Interplant lettuce with slower-growing crops to maximize garden space.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.

Fun with a late blooming omega
Format: Kindle
I like this book. The story is fun, cute, and sexy. There's just a little drama, some excellent, steamy scenes, and a fairly good relationship building storyline. I especially like how all the main characters are a bit older than the usual 20 somethings I tend to see in this kind of book. Having said that, I wish there were more descriptions of the places, as well as the food in the fancy restaurant. I enjoyed the cocktails at the club, so I missed that kind of detail when Gray took Madison on a dinner date. I also wish there had been more interaction between Lucas and Madison, and Lucas and Rian. It felt a bit lopsided, with a focus on Rian, Madison, and Gray. I wish it had been proofread - there are a lot of typos, but nothing too distracting.
