Lettuce – Saladin – 750 seeds – 11813

Description

Large dense hearts and very crisp. Stands well and shows resistance to tip burn.
A Best Buy variety as recommended by the Gardening Press and Consumer Groups.

Outdoors: sow thinly, March-July where they are to crop, 1.5cm (½”) deep, directly into finely-prepared, fertile, moisture-retentive 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 25cm (10″) apart. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply. Harvest: June-October.

Tip: For the crispest, freshest heads, pick in the cool of early morning or the evening.
