Salad Bowl Lettuce Seeds 1000 Heirloom Seeds Per Packet Non GMO Seeds

Lactuca sativa "Salad Bowl" Large, brilliant-green leaves with lobed, ruffled edges. Has a sweet, crisp, and tender flavor. This variety is slow to bolt but still does best in cooler weather. Type: Annual Sun: Full/Partial Planting Depth: 1/8” Spacing: 6” Water: Moderate Days to Maturity/Bloom: 45 days Height: 9-15” Zones: 3-9 Lettuce grows well in cool weather, so the first crop can be direct sown when the soil temperature reaches at least 35 degrees F, or as soon as the soil can be worked. If the soil temperature rises above 75 degrees F, the seeds become dormant. Direct sow the seed in rich soil and full sun, spreading them as thinly as possible in rows 1-2' apart; when the seedlings begin to grow, thin them to a distance of 6-8". Succession crops can be grown for fresh lettuce all season in areas with cool summers or warm winters; this is accomplished by planting a new crop every 2 weeks. For companion planting benefits, grow lettuce with onions, cucumbers, or carrots.
