: Lettuce
Latin name: Lactuca sativa
Family: Compositae
Plant:
Annual/Biennial
Height:
90 cm
(2 feet)
Flovering:
July to
August
Propagation of Lettuce:
Seed - sow a small quantity of seed in situ every 2 or 3 weeks from March (with protection in
cooler areas) to June and make another sowing in August/September for a winter/spring crop.
Only just cover the seed. Germination is usually rapid and good, thin the plants if necessary,
these thinnings can be transplanted to produce a slightly later crop (but they will need to be well
watered in dry weather). More certain winter crops can be obtained by sowing in a frame in
September/October and again in January/February.
