New improved mix of specially developed baby leaf varieties. It now consists of four lettuce varieties, Albabionda, Albaverde, Albarossa and Baby Romaine. This gives a great range of leaf shape, colour and texture. It can be picked as baby-leaf or allowed to grow on for a ‘cut and come again’ crop
Organic Lettuce Baby Leaf Mix
We recommend growing each of your lettuce plug plants on in 9cm pots for 2-3 weeks before planting out. The larger leaves will be less appealing to slugs and snails who prefer munching on the very young and tender sweet leaves. Spacing 20 - 30 cm.
Always try to plant a few extra plants which may act as sacrificial plants as some are sure to be targeted by slugs - if you can accept the loss as just part of a natural healthy ecosystem in your garden it will feel less frustrating! However to keep losses to a minimum, encourage their natural predators to your garden: birds, hedgehogs, toads, frogs etc and let them do the work for you.
