Lactuca sativa
Quick growing, excellent heat resistance too.
Cool, crispy heads form quickly, yet hold incredibly well in the garden as the summer temperatures creep higher. Its strong heat resistance made it a marvelous performer in our Fordhook Farm kitchen garden in spring, summer and fall plantings. Fresh green color and pleasingly mild flavor just add to its winning qualities.
70 days to maturity, full sun/part sun.
415mg of seed
- For the best quality, pick lettuce early rather than late as lettuce allowed to grow too long may be bitter and tough.
- Try to harvest in the morning when the leaves are crisp, sweet, and full of moisture.
- Harvest looseleaf types anytime the leaves are large enough to use.
- Harvest butterhead types when they have formed heads and the leaves are a good size.
- Cut the heads below the crown.
- On leaf types, you can just pick a few leaves at a time, if you like.
- Store for 5-7 days in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Many gardeners wrap leaves in moist paper towels.
- Lettuce is a classic ingredient in salads. It adds crispness to sandwiches and can be used as a garnish, braised, or added to soups. Many of the looseleaf cultivars are also decorative in the garden.
