Lettuce 'Ultimate Mixed'

Direct sow lettuce seeds outdoors from March to August into well prepared, fertile, moist soil in sun or semi shade. Sow seeds thinly at a depth of 1cm (½") in drills 30cm (12") apart in soil which has been raked to a fine tilth. When large enough to handle, thin out seedlings to 30cm (12") apart and cover with a protective netting or fleece to prevent attack from birds and insects. Make regular sowings for a constant supply.

Water lettuce frequently and hoe between plants regularly to prevent weeds from establishing. Dry weather may cause heads of lettuce plants to bolt so watering is particularly critical during the 2 weeks before harvesting. A thick mulch applied around the plants will help to retain moisture in the soil. Harvest lettuce when required by pulling up the entire plant before trimming off the stem with a knife.

   Loads of varieties in one pack

   By Thomas Lawson 31-08-2011

   This is my first year with this pack and I am so pleased. I now have only 2 lettuce seed packs instead of 6 different ones. The pack may cost a little extra but is cheaper than buying loads of different variety packs. The only additional pack i buy is Webbs wonderfull

   First year of growing this mixture and my husband and I are really happy with the growth, variety and the lack of bolting in this dry weather. Well done T & M
