Tarengo is a fabulously beautiful batavian with burgundy toned green frilly edged shiny leaves. Enjoy scrumptious crispness reminiscent of an iceberg: from the first baby leaves to the last fully hearted head – it takes about 10 weeks to grow through all those stages so a little sown every few weeks will give you plenty of perfect choice. The richness of the colour depends on the amount of sunshine Tarengo can bask in - fingers crossed for good weather!
This variety is part of our naturally nurtured range, the seed comes from an organic source
SOW: a little seed (5-10mm deep) from February to mid-September to give you a succession of lettuces. You can start them in modules and transplant them to where you have spaces. To help spread out your harvest sow a little seed every few weeks.
GROW: plant out when large enough to do so at about 25-35cm apart, harvest from May to November. You can plant these much closer and cut as baby leaves, especially useful if you have limited space. A fully hearted loose rosette head takes about 10 weeks to develop
ENJOY: at any stage of growth enjoy scrumptious crispness – in a salad bowl or in a sandwich or your favourite way
