Selected varieties by Steve Solomon, which will provide you with a rich abundance of a variety of different lettuces, all are suitable for cool climates and are slow to bolt, sweet to taste and have soft leaves. Most are compact and have good hearts, but can be used as loose leaf lettuce as well. Prepare soil by raking in COF. Sow early Spring to mid-Summer and again in late Summer and Autumn. Sprinkle seeds in a small trench 5 mm deep. Cover with soil and water them in, seeds germinate in 7 to 12 days. When plants have four leaves thin them out to about 20cm apart and feed with COF.
