Planted some various veggies and for the life of me, I can't tell if this is lettuce or some kind of spinach.
If lettuce, what variety?

It's lettuce and it appears to be one of the butterhead types. Not sure about the actual variety.

You need to get to harvesting too calbayarea! Nice plants btw.

Seysonn: never heard of Bibb?? It's one of the more popular leaf lettuces. You know those lettuce wraps that have become so popular? Much of the time, it's Bibb leaves.
