Description

     

Oakleaf Lettuce Seeds (Leaf Type) 1725. Heirloom Vegetable.

Approx. 1,900 seeds/pkt (880 seeds/gram)

This heat resistant lettuce produces tight clusters of medium green leaves shaped somewhat like oak leaves. Good flavour and tender texture make this an excellent variety for later spring planting in the home garden.

How to Grow

Lettuce is a sun-loving cool weather crop that grows best in organic, well drained soil. Sow as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, then every two weeks thereafter to ensure a continuous supply. Sow about 3 mm  deep in rows 45 cm apart. An even supply of moisture during the entire growth period is imperative for success. Harvest leaf lettuce by either pulling the entire plant or by cutting leaves from the main stem at least 2.5 cm above the base – this will allow the plant to sprout new leaves. Harvest head lettuce by cutting the head off at the base just below the lower leaves. Once lettuce bolts (starts to produce a rapidly growing flower stem) leaves become bitter. Germination occurs in 7-10 days.
