Growing tips

Lettuces are very suitable as 'gap fillers'. They require sufficient moisture and have comparatively low nutrient requirements. With a clever selection, lettuce can be grown all year round: in spring and early summer, lettuce and cut/picked lettuce; in summer and fall, chicory lettuce and iceberg lettuce as well as lamb's lettuce (especially in fall and winter). For a continuous harvest, it is best to sow or plant at intervals. Species and varieties must be adapted to the respective season, e.g. spring varieties start to shoot when it is too hot. This causes a long stalk to form and the leaves become bitter. After a few weeks, small flowers appear at the top, from which many crescent-shaped seeds are formed. These can be collected for the following year or disperse themselves in the bed if you leave them standing.
