Grow the sweetest, most tender butterhead (Boston) lettuce you’ve ever tasted in just 50 days with this petite gourmet treat!
Little Gem bears dark green heads just 5 inches across and packed with tender-fresh sweetness. Just wash these attractive little heads and serve them whole as the center of a composed salad, or use them as super-sweet, soft wrappers for appetizers and finger food.
Children love them, too, for their non-astringent flavor and midget size.
Lettuce thrives in cold weather and can be sown directly into the garden, starting in early spring. For an even earlier harvest, sow indoors; the seedlings don’t mind transplanting. If a fall crop is desired, begin in late summer. Grow in single rows, plants spaced 6 inches apart, or in containers.
Pkt is 1/32 oz, at least 600 seeds, sowing a 30-foot row.
