What is YOUR Favorite (and least favorite) Lettuce?

I have an 8x4 raised bed that I use strictly for my "salad" garden with only greens growing in it. I planted in mid February and I was determined to be eating from my garden in April and I was.

I love my:

Lollo Rosso

Gentilina

And another favorite "green" but not a lettuce is Pepper Cress! A bit spicy flavor with a mild horseradish taste and it is cut and come again. I have been eating this in my salads for 2 months now.

Spinach didn't do well for me. It grew tall and leggy and bolted while I was just away in Alaska. I also didn't do well with bok choi or baby bok choi. They both grew tall and bolted.

We have had strange weather with a warm March but it seems like we have had nothing but rain since then!

I plan on using row covers this winter and growing a winter garden for the first time.

What are your favorite and also your least favorite types of greens to grow in the NW?
