Wonderful large green heads of crunchy leaves, make this a crisp and tender heirloom lettuce. Cut about 12 weeks from sowing, indeed with regular sowing Great Lakes will grow happily throughout the summer months: being both cold tolerant and slow to bolt its perfect for our changeable UK climate! Price for 75 seeds
SOW: a little seed every 2-3 weeks in spring and summer to give you a succession of lettuces. You can start them in modules and transplant so that there is no need to thin but avoid sowing in very warm weather.
GROW: plant out when large enough to do so at about 30-35cm apart, harvest through the summer and autumn. Great Lakes is well adapted to adverse hot or cold conditions. Watch out for slugs and snails – they love lettuces!
EAT: fresh in salad – enjoy the flavour on its own or try mixing with a range of other leaves such as Chicory, Chinese Cabbage and Namenia.
