Lettuce. Grew out Rossa di Trento, Rougette Montpellier (aka red parella) and Radichetta. Montpellier is a small green butter head with lots of red on top.
Photo is on the right. It
would make a beautiful baby lettuce. Was one of the earliest to
mature, the first to bolt. Soft texture and very nice taste. Definitely not a lettuce for summer but excellent for spring and fall.
To the left is an old favorite: wonder of 4 seasons (meraviglia quattro
stagioni). Colors are even darker in the fall. The Rossa trento (on
the right) is a very large heading type, light green with lots of red. Very soft texture and nice taste. It was ready about two weeks after the
Montpellier. Good resistance to bolting. The Radichetta was the real surprise. It is described as a 'country' or 'wild lettuce'. It is a loose leaf and has the shape of an oak leaf lettuce. It has a fairly thick stem and a really great lettuce taste. Texture is quite firm, almost like an romaine. You can actually cook it; I made a chicken soup and used that instead of escarole and it was outstanding. It is very early; best of all, it seems unwilling to bolt. I left some out to see how long it would
take to go to seed. After every other lettuce had gone to seed, it just kept growing. I finally cut them when they were sixteen inches tall and really huge because I needed the space for other things.
All of these were grown out under remay cloth. Even with the one of the coolest springs in many a year, I was able to set out 5 week transplants in early April. These photos were taken sometime around the middle of May.
Early Spring Crops. Using transplants and some heavy remay cloth (row
cover) 
gives
a very early harvest. The photo at the left was taken in mid-May. In
the front is liscia verde chard, behind that some lettuce, behind that
misticanza lettuce and misticanza escarole & endive. The chard and
lettuce went out as transplants in mid-April and were covered with heavy row
cover. The hoops you see have been in use for years and are nothing but
some 1/2 inch pvc pipe cut so that they fit my beds (and the width of my row
cover). It is a great technique.
Over wintered Chicory. Chicory is as tough as it gets. If
your fall planted chicory was not mature enough to harvest, just leave it.
It will normally survive quite nicely 
through
the winter. On the left is some puntarelle. It survived one of the
coldest records in eastern Massachusetts in many a year. Temperatures at
times were -15F, although we did have plenty of snow cover to help out.
