How to Grow - Light: Plant in a location that receives full sun or partial shade. - Temperature: Ideal for sowing in spring and summer. For autumn sowings, protection with cloches or a cold greenhouse is recommended. - Watering: Ensure the soil remains consistently moist, particularly in the two weeks leading up to harvest, to prevent bolting. - Feeding: Sow into fertile, well-prepared soil and consider regular feeding to promote steady growth. - Humidity: Maintain good air circulation and mulch the soil to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. 'Sulfita' lettuce provides a satisfying crunch and excellent storage capabilities, making it a valuable addition to any vegetable garden.
