Growing Tips for Oakleaf Lettuce Blonde

Sowing:
Sow Oakleaf Lettuce Blonde from February to March under cover, and from the last frost until September in the open ground.

• Sow in a nursery and transplant the young plants when they have 4 to 5 leaves, spacing them 30 cm apart.
• If sowing directly in the ground, thin the seedlings to 10 cm, and later to 30 cm, to allow sufficient space for the plants.

Lettuce prefers well-drained, fresh soil enriched with compost. It needs plenty of sunlight to grow well, and regular watering during dry periods. Sow every three weeks from February to September for a continuous harvest of fresh leaves throughout the year.

Care and Diseases:

• Water regularly and apply mulch to maintain soil moisture.
• Lettuce can be susceptible to slugs, so be sure to protect it using natural barriers or appropriate remedies.

Harvesting:
Lettuce can be harvested 4 to 8 weeks after sowing, depending on growing conditions.

• Cut the leaves when they reach about 15 cm long, leaving the heart intact to allow the plant to regrow.

Tips and Tricks:

• Oakleaf Lettuce Blonde is easy to grow and suitable for beginner gardeners.
• Protect the plants from slugs using barriers or natural treatments.
• By sowing regularly, you ensure a continuous harvest of fresh lettuce all year round.
