Description
Salad bowl lettuce seed by Mr. Fothergill’s. Easy, just pick leaves. Crops all summer long, slow to run to seed. Pick individual leaves as needed or whole ‘non-hearting’ heads.
Useful Information: Awarded the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit; Easy to grow variety; Salad bar; Suitable for contained gardens; Oriental vegetables.
Sow and Grow: Outdoors: sow thinly, March-August where they are to crop, 1.5 cm (1/2-inch) deep, directly into finely-prepared, fertile, moisture-retentive soil, which has already been watered. Allow 25 cm (10-inch) between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Thin out to 20 cm (8-inch) apart. No thinning is necessary if only baby leaves are required. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply. Harvest: April-October.
Hints and Tips: Cut a few leaves from each plant, perfect for baby leaf style salads. They will grow back for up to four cuts. Cut the whole heads of mature plants.
