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.

Lightweight, Options, and Ease of Use Make this a Great Watch
Color: Black
I have purchased many Timex watches over the years and I am entirely satisfied with this watch. I always buy the sports watch, as I swim and do triathlons. Things I like about the watch: *Setting the watch is easy and the instructions are clear (although the printed instructions are very small!) * The watch is not too big. So many watches have too many features and they are large, bulky, and heavy. This watch is sleek, has a low profile, and has a size that is ideal for average needs. * The numbers are big enough to see easily at a glance. * There are enough useful options, and this watch is not overloaded with too many options. Too many options are confusing to me. I like the simplicity of this watch and the ease of use of the options it has. * I like the plastic watch band. I have tried the velcro strap bands and they wear out after a year or so of use. The plastic band will eventually break, but is fairly easy to replace. * I like the price. At less than 35 dollars I have everything I need in a watch. * I like and use frequently the Indiglo feature. I have even used Indiglo to find my way to the bathroom at night from bed! The light on the dial is bright enough to make your way through the dark for a short trip! Things I don't like: There is not much I don't like about this Timex watch. I suppose my biggest complaint about this watch and any Timex watch is the difficulty in changing the battery. The battery will eventually need replacement, and of course one has to take off the back of the watch to replace the battery. This is tricky and takes a steady hand. I wish Timex would make the battery more accessible so changing the battery would be as easy as sliding one in or out of a hinged door (like on a hearing aid). Obviously, there is much more to like about this watch than not like. I do recommend it for a good sport watch. It will withstand chlorine pools, lake water, rainfall, high and low temperatures, but be careful not to scratch the dial window! I scratched the main window crystal and ruined my last watch. Avoid spraying any kind of bug repellant on the window as well, as this can mar (dull) the surface. For me, this watch meets all my needs and I give it a 5-star rating. My needs are faily simple. There are certainly other watches that offer more features, but to me, the added features add complexity and are not worth the added bother. The price is good. The watch is good quality. This is a good buy. Jim "Konedog" Koenig

Great watch; but why the triangle screws?
Color: Black/Digital Gray/Silver-Tone
I have been using these watches for many years with very good luck, and would normally give them 5 stars. They are comfortable, waterproof, durable, and have an alarm and a countdown timer. (The waterproof and countdown timer - that can be set to repeat - make them good for sailboat racing, and these are much cheaper than sailing watches. ) But at some point before the watch breaks, the battery will die. It is not hard to replace the battery. Except now the watch comes with triangle head screws holding the back on, rather than the regular phillips head screws they used to have. Why? Is it that important to keep people from opening up their watch? Making things harder to fix is a step in the wrong direction. Knocking off one star for that.

Still the champ.
Color: Black/Negative Digital/Gray, Color: Black/Negative Digital/Gray
I absolutely LOVE my Casio GBA800 that I have bully bars on, so she's quite huge. Analog with Bluetooth, pretty cool. If I ever remember to use such things. I have a phone and laptop on me usually, why do I need to play with my watch? I want to tell time, that's it. Comes along a good sale for an Ironman, and I used to be a complete fanatic for only Ironman for a real person's needs. Why not, I've been fighting the Casio all day with my coat cuff, let's get something a bit slimmer for when it's coat season. See if they're still great. Yup! Sure is. It's been probably 25 years ago last time I wore this style of Timex, and can you believe the button setup and beeps are all still the same as way back when! And somehow, my subconscious remembers the button presses. Wild. This thing is light as a feather, and I got the inverse LCD for fun, which is cool as all get out, but takes some getting used to. The Indiglo sure looks awesome, though, and she's like Knight Rider down there. Stealth. The display is big, and easy even for my old eyes, the band is supremely comfortable, and there's a strap catch that actually works correctly! With no Bluetooth, battery life should be outstanding - always used to be. Back when watch batteries were like $12 each. There goes my allowance! Lol. I'm very impressed by this timepiece. I really didn't mean to order order it, but, oh well. I love it as much as my Casio. Affordable tough watches rock!

This Timex Ironman lives up to its name
Color: Black/Digital Gray/Black
Timex Ironman watches have been with me for a decade. This particular one I just ordered as a backup for the same one that I have had for seven years (and still works perfectly). I don't know why I ordered a backup except that I love it so much that I couldn't fathom the idea that Timex might discontinue this model. Why do I love it so much? Because it is functional in many ways. Aside from its durability, reliability and the fact that it fits on my wrist so comfortably, it is easy to read and extremely useful for tasks that need countdown alarms as well as regular timers (it has three which you can set). Since I gave up "fashionable" watches years ago in favor of practical, easy to read, multifunctional devises I found this Timex the best of all the other brands that I have tried in this category. Years ago, President Bill Clinton, who jogged regularly, was heavily chastised for wearing a very functional Timex Ironman watch in the Oval Office instead of what the professional politicians considered appropriate for a President. It was then that I realized how important it was for a person to wear a watch that they loved, and that was functional for them. At that point in time I had many other watches that I didn't jettison until later when I realized that I need only wear the watch that I loved and was useful to me. I still have another watch that I saved for "appropriate" times out but have only worn it once. The rest of the time my Timex Ironman stays on my wrist wherever I go.
