Description

This bibb-type lettuce stays sweet in the summer, instead of turning bitter, and it holds on in the fall without bolting too! Produces a small, tight head.

Source Note: Pelleted seed is “…seed that has been coated with a clay-based material to form a larger, round shape. This makes planting by hand or mechanical seeder easier and allows for more controlled sowing of small seeds such as carrots or lettuce. All pelleted seed has a National Organic Program (NOP) approved coating.”

Lettuce – Buttercrunch (Butterhead) – Lactuca sativa

Soil & Water: Lettuce likes full sun except in hot summer climates where it prefers some shade, especially in the afternoon. Add plenty of compost to the soil to encourage rapid growth. Water evenly and moderately to prevent bitterness.

Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting outside, or sow directly as soon as soil can be worked. Make successive plantings every 14-21 days for continuous harvest. In mild climates, lettuce can be sown from spring through fall.

Harvesting & Storage: Picking individual leaves helps extend the season, but all eventually becomes bitter.
