Lactuca sativa 'Thai Green'

 

Lettuce 'Thai Green'

Lettuce is an annual vegetable for use as a salad vegetable. There are three main types: butterhead, crisphead and Cos, the first being smaller having soft leaves, the second crisp leaves and larger, the latter being conical, semi crisp, and tallish. 'Thai green' is a looseleaf type lettuce that copes well in hot weather without getting bitter. It is also slow to bolt. Pick small leaves or outside leaves to add to a salad, or harvest the whole plant when it has reached maturity (usually 50 - 55 days)

Planting outdoors

From Mid Spring TO Mid Summer

Plant container grown plants out when risk of frost has passed, in rich moisture retentive soil. Watch out for slugs and snails - treat with pellets, or barriers (egg-shells, saw-dust, or copper tape) to avoid damage to the plants

 

Propagation by seed

From Early Spring TO Late Summer

Sow lettuce seeds in damp compost in greenhouse, and keep the compost moist, but not waterlogged. Sow in succession - about every two weeks - to get a continuous crop
