Successive sowings will produce sweet lettuce spring through late fall! We've filled this packet with a whopping 2.5 grams of seed, enough for a small, fresh greens farm!

    We are getting great yields from our square foot of salad bowl and four seasons lettuces. We harvest outer leaves every couple days and continue to have lush plants.

    This lettuce is fantastic! I had never grown it before this past fall. It is delicious - my 3 year old asked for more with dinner, and I often find him and my 2 year old daughter "sneaking" some out of the garden (which they've never done with store bought lettuce). Will definitely buy again.
