- Harvest: May to October
- Outdoors Sowing Guide: Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½”) deep, directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 30cm (1’) between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Thin out to 20cm (8”) apart. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings made every two to three weeks will ensure a continuous supply.
- Soil Type: Fertile, moisture retentive soil
- Hints & Tips: For the crispest heads, pick in the cool of early morning or late evening. Romaine lettuce is the best type for braising as well as for use in salads.
