We are too. It's doing well. You can see a picture of it on our diary site. The only thing I've noticed is its secondaries seem slower to move out than the other plants we are growing but they are coming. Nice big leaves..some of the biggest in the patch.

I got one growing, Big Stump, low to the ground, starting to get bigger leaves at 3 feet now, Was allot hardier with the burning scenario than Kline 1204. I know of 2 others growing in CO. Longmont Pete, and LongBeard. See Longmont Pete's diary his is looking pretty fine.

I'd like, to brag, on mine too.........however I must remember that we are not growing lettuce. We must wait a bit, to see how Paul Harvel tells the rest, of the story.

Growing one here in West-Austria. Plant is a little behind the others, but the vine looks really strong and the leaves are big.

Mine is not doing well. The main vine has split and the leaves are spindly and small... see my diary for pics.

Not so perfect now, main vine tip cracked so i will train a secondary to take its place. Not a bid deal in my opinion, I still have high expectations for it.

My 1233.5 has large leaves, that do tend to wilt quite a bit on me. It has been quite hot and dry hear though. My 603.5 Muller is back to back with the 1233.5 (5' apart), and has a smaller, medium sized leaves, and not as prone to wilting. The 603.5 is in a little better soil I think(better tilth). Both plants are similar in size, the 1233.5 has a little longer mainvine.

Odd LB,
My Langevins were the ones that would wilt on me and they are shaded more like yours. I never had to do anything to the Reiss but at first the Kline did need some misting ( same patch). Im thinking it has to do a lot with using those peat pots and the roots not being able to get out as quick at first. I ripped the bottoms off on these latest seeds will see with them, I like the peat pot idea but wonder about the roots, I did not get good root structure like Joel had in his DVD. Maybe using polymear was not such a good idea. Hmm another post is coming!

My 1233 looks good, just a lot smaller than the rest of my plants. The main is about 4'now, and the most of my other ones are over 10'.
