Thompson & Morgan

Grow your own crisp iceberg lettuce with Thompson & Morgan's Great Lakes variety. This heritage seed packet contains 400 seeds, producing medium to large hearts with fresh, bright green leaves that emerge in just 90 days. The Great Lakes lettuce is known for its bolt resistance, making it ideal for summer sowing and ensuring a continuous harvest. For best results, sow seeds directly outdoors from March to August in well-prepared, fertile, moist soil, in a sunny or partially shaded location. Follow the sowing depth and spacing instructions, and thin seedlings to 30cm apart. Protect young plants from birds and insects with netting or fleece. Consistent watering and regular hoeing are crucial, especially during dry spells, to prevent bolting and promote healthy head development. A mulch layer will help retain soil moisture. Harvest lettuce as needed by pulling up the entire plant. This variety is perfect for kitchen gardens and is half-hardy. Maximum height up to 20cm and spread up to 30cm. This packet contains 400 heritage seeds.
