Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce
A home garden favorite since 1850. Quickly produces large, loose-leaved heads with light green, crispy leaves. Best grown as a spring or fall/winter variety to avoid bolting. This seed packet weighs 1.5g.
Planting
Lettuce prefers cool weather. Select a location with full sun, or partial shade in hot areas. Sow in early spring or fall, or in winter in mild climates. Keep soil evenly moist for best growth. Thin regularly. Lettuce does not like to be crowded.
Harvest
Harvest by cutting no more than 1/3 of a single plant's leaves at one time at soil level for continuous regrowth.
