Perfect for fresh salads, Johnsons Lettuce Little Gem is a must-have. Ideal for small spaces - it comes with exceptional vigour, sweet flavour and crisp, tight heads. Outdoor sowing: March to August, in a prepared seedbed. Sow thinly in rows 25cm apart. Cover with 1.5cm of fine soil. Firm gently and keep moist. Seedlings appear in 7-14 days. For continuous crops, sow every 2-3 weeks. For cut and come-again baby leaves, no further thinning is required. Or when large enough, thin to 15cm apart for mature ‘hearted’ plants. Keep moist and weed-free. Protect early sowings with cloches. Harvest: May to October - harvest baby leaves a few at a time allowing leaves to grow for 2-3 further cuts. Or mature lettuces as soon as the hearts have formed. Quality Guarantee: Should these seeds fail, we will be happy to replace them. This does not affect your statutory rights.
