Lettuce & Leaves
Crisp, fresh lettuce and salad leaves are one of the great tastes of summer, and they’re also very easy to grow in beds, pots or even windowboxes. There’s one to suit every taste, from butterhead lettuces with loose heads of succulent leaves to big, crunchy Icebergs, as well as salad leaves for cut-and-come-again picking. They’re a great source of vitamins and fibre, low in salt and cholesterol, and ideal for guilt-free snacking!
Most salad leaves like the sun but prefer some light shade in summer. The smaller varieties are ideal for container growing on windowsills and balconies.
Lettuce ‘Tom Thumb’ (Butterhead)
A very sweet and juicy little butterhead lettuce that is quick-maturing making it a great choice for children to grow. Sow little and often to extend cropping period.

Most salad leaves prefer a sunny, sheltered site, with light shade in summer. Grow in moist, well-drained soil and dig in plenty of well- rotted manure or garden compost before sowing.
Sow indoors in early spring in modules filled with seed
compost; place the seeds on the surface and cover lightly with more compost. Grow on a sunny windowsill.
Sow outdoors from late
March to late July, thinly 1cm deep in rows 30cm apart. Thin seedlings to 30cm
apart (the thinnings can be added to salads).
For a continuous supply in summer, sow new
batches every two weeks. Microleaves can be sown all year round - harvest in just 2 weeks.
