Growing guide for Salad Bowl Leaf Lettuce Seeds
Planting instructions
Since lettuce salad bowl is a cut and come again variety and grows relatively quickly, it’s best to plant the required produce in succession every 10 to 15 days for continued harvest. Sow lettuce salad bowl seeds in rich well-draining soil at a depth, not more than ¼ inches. Once the seedlings are 2-3 inches in height, thin them to a distance of 8 to 10 inches.
Growing Requirements
pests & diseases
Watch out for aphids and slugs. Use neem oil for aphids and diatomaceous earth for slugs. Keep the area clean to prevent diseases like mildew; water at the base to avoid wetting the foliage.
soil
Loose, loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0) is ideal for Salad Bowl Lettuce.
spot
Choose a spot with partial shade, especially in warmer regions. Morning sun and afternoon shade are perfect for a happy lettuce patch.
temperature
Lettuce thrives in cool temperatures, around 55-70°F (13-21°C). Provide shade in warmer climates.
watering
Lettuce salad bowl requires good soil moisture to produce juicy succulent leaves. Mulch up the soil to retain adequate moisture in the soil during warm months.
how to harvest
Lettuce salad bowl can be harvested as a microgreen, baby leaf or as mature salad leaf. The leaves are best harvested in the morning. Harvest the outer leaves and then move inward. Lettuce salad bowl leaves will taste good until the plant starts growing central stalk. The leaves are best consumed fresh, however, they will keep for about a week in the refrigerator in a damp paper towel. Harvest young leaves when they reach 4-6 inches in height. Cut leaves from the outer edges, allowing the center to continue growing. Freshly harvested leaves add a delightful crunch to your favorite recipes.
