Lettuce Saladin ORGANIC SEED

Description:
Probably the ”Iceberg“ on the grocer’s shelf, large well wrapped heads of shiny bright green leaves. Very crisp and stands well at maturity. 750 seeds Lettuce seeds can be sown in modules, seed trays or direct into the growing site and thinned the required spacings as soon as possible. Rows should be about 30cm apart and the seed sown 1cm deep. Small lettuces can be spaced at 15-20cm distances, whilst large crispheads will need 30-35sm. Regular watering is essential espacially the 7-10 days before maturity. Lettuces mature quickly, butterheads at about 10 weeks and crispheads and cos types at around 14 weeks. They will not stand for more the 5-7 days once mature before running to seed, so successional sowing of the use of the "cut and come again" types is required. Sowings begin in February under glass at 15°C followed by outdoor sowings under cloches until late autumn sowing for overwinter production uses cloches and glasshouse. Germination difficulties maybe experienced in July and August as lettuce seed will go into dormancy if sown in very hot weather.
