Jester Leaf Lettuce Organic

$2.95 $0.00

    ORGANIC  Open Pollinated.

    • 45 Days.
    • Jester Lettuce is a  new variety from the fields of Gathering Together Farm and the talented eye of Frank Morton. 
    • We love the flavor, ragged leaves and color. One of the prettiest lettuces and as Morton says”it’s crisp, glossy and juicy as an apple, perfectly proportioned for a plate or sandwich, ". 
    • Flashy red speckles on semi savoy leaves with crazy crisped margins like a Jester's attire.
    • Slow to bolt in any season.
       Planting Directions: Sow seed ¼” deep in well prepared soil that has been amended with a general garden fertilizer or rich compost when soil temperatures are between 40°-80°.  Sow indoors 4 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Plant in early spring and again in fall. When young plants are well established begin thinning. The plants should stand 6” apart. Plant every few  weeks as long as weather is cool for a continuous supply. Grow  lettuce  quickly  for a crisp leaf. Keep the soil moderately moist during the entire growing season.
