Why do we need Iceberg lettuce from the USA?

Well, we don’t.  We can grow a wonderful variety of over-wintering crops on our plots – such as the young tips of kale, red cabbage, sprouts, and some of the Chinese salads are winter hardy – red mustard, mizuna, mibuna etc. If you have fleece or a polytonal there are some great varieties of over wintering lettuces, and vitamin filled greens such a Miners Lettuce. I think we can do without icebergs flown in from America – we can grow our own!
