Butterhead lettuce is a nutrient-rich vegetable with a mild flavour. It is an excellent source of Vitamin K and a good source of Vitamin A (beta-carotene) and Folate. This lettuce also contains minerals such as iron, potassium, and manganese, in addition to, dietary fibre and beneficial antioxidants.

• Sowing: Since lettuce is a cool-weather crop, sow your seeds 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, or in blocks or squares.
• Care: While lettuce is fairly adaptable, it will make its best growth in organic, well-drained soils in a sunny location. An even supply of moisture during the entire growth period is imperative for success. Thin heading lettuce to 30 cm spacing.
• Harvesting: 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), the leaves will become bitter.
• Germination: Germination occurs in 5-10 days.

For a wholesome and authentic gardening experience, this organic Buttercrunch lettuce is the perfect choice. Its natural resilience and pure, crisp flavour make it a joy to grow and a treat to eat. This is a simple, satisfying way to bring the pure, unadulterated taste of the earth directly to your plate.
