Lettuce

Gourmet Blend

Description: Gourmet Blend Mix contains a variety of textures, shapes and colors of different types of lettuce such as red and green romaine, oak-leaf and curled leaf varieties.

Mesclun Blend

Description: Mesclun Blend Mix incorporates different lettuces as well as herbs.   Arugula, mizuna, tatsai, endive, chervil, radicchio and kale are in the mix.

Recommended Spacing: 10″ to 12″ apart.

Height: 6″ to 8″ tall.

How To Grow: Plant in full sun.  Lettuce can take some shade.

Outstanding Features: You can plant lettuce every two weeks or so from spring until fall to have a continuous supply of fresh salad.  Keep soil moist and fertilized.

Tips: Harvest as soon as the lettuce is 2 to 6 inches long.  Cut in the morning if possible.  Avoid using pesticides on lettuce because it will absorb it.  If pesticides are needed find one that is relatively harmless or organic.

Recommended Uses: Use for salads.

We recommend a fresh salad with blue cheese crumbles and raspberry vinaigrette dressing.  Better yet, a fresh salad with lots of cheddar cheese and bacon crumbles smothered in ranch dressing (no sense in being completely healthy with it).
