Culinary tip:

Soil tip:

To avoid seeding and extend the harvest period, water your lettuces regularly. Lettuce prefers sunny exposure.

Culture advice:

1. Sows: Sow from April to July in lines 30 cm apart.
2. Lightening: At the 3-4 leaf stage, rip out the smallest salads and keep only the most vigorous one to leave only one lettuce every 30 cm.
3. Harvest: Harvest from late June to October. To have batavias from the end of May, sow under cover from February.

Plants:

Batavia lettuce likes the proximity of the radish because by sowing them together, the lettuce is less likely to rise to seed.
