Jim Waddick mentioned celtuce. Celtuce is nothing new in the US: it was commonly sold a half century ago. This lettuce used to be in every seed catalog when I was a kid, so I was surprised to read that it was now not easily found. I checked several current general seed catalogs on hand here, and sure enough, not one listed celtuce. When I Googled “celtuce seed” there were several hits, mostly from UK sources although there was at least one US source. I’ve never eaten celtuce, but I love the stems of other lettuces. I’ll bet it’s available through the seed saver groups. We have several Asian supermarkets right in this neighborhood, and there is a gigantic Asian supermarket which draws clientele from far and wide between here and Baltimore. I’ll try to get over there sometime soon to check for one bulb garlic and lily bulbs. I’ll let everyone know what I find.
