Lettuce All The Year Round Seeds.

Lactuca sativa is a classic, versatile variety known for its crisp, tender leaves and reliable growth throughout the year.

 

The genus Lactuca derives from the Latin word lac, meaning "milk," due to the milky sap that is released when the plant is cut. Sativa refers to its cultivated nature, as this is a domesticated form of the wild lettuce.

 

As the name suggests, Lettuce All The Year Round is prized for its ability to grow in a variety of conditions, providing fresh, home-grown lettuce from early spring to late autumn.

 

This variety grows to a height of 20-25 cm, forming compact, round heads of light green, crisp leaves. It is an ideal choice for those looking for a dependable, fast-growing lettuce that can be harvested at multiple stages, whether you prefer baby leaves for salads or fully mature heads for larger harvests.

 

Lettuce All The Year Round is perfect for growing in the ground, raised beds, or containers, making it a flexible option for gardens of all sizes.

Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds outdoors from March to August in well-prepared, moist, well-drained soil. Plant seeds 1 cm deep, spacing them 20 cm apart. Keep the soil moist until germination, which typically takes 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to about 20 cm apart to allow space for the plants to grow into full heads.

 

For an earlier start, sow indoors from January to March. Sow seeds in trays or pots filled with moist, well-drained compost, and keep at a temperature of 15-18°C. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them outdoors after the last frost, spacing them 20 cm apart.

 

Lettuce All The Year Round thrives in full sun to partial shade, and regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells. Keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained to avoid problems like rot. Fertilising with a balanced feed will promote healthy, vigorous growth. Harvest the outer leaves as needed or allow the whole head to mature for a larger crop.

 

This easy-to-grow, reliable lettuce variety is perfect for gardeners looking for a steady supply of fresh greens throughout the growing season. Lettuce All The Year Round is perfect for growing in both small and large spaces, providing delicious, crisp leaves for salads, sandwiches, and more.
