How to grow

Sow from March onwards under protection, either in pots or seed starting modules. When large enough to handle, transplant outdoors, setting plants 20-25cm apart. Alternatively, direct sow mid-April onwards into 2cm deep drills, and thin to one plant per 20-25cm when large enough to handle. Cut regularly to encourage a constant supply of new leaves. New leaves are sweeter than larger, older leaves. This lettuce performs best if it is not let grow taller than 30cm.
