Growing tips

Like spinach, lamb's lettuce is a long-day plant. This means that in midsummer, when the days are long, the plant starts to flower and is then no longer harvestable due to the high nitrate concentration and bitter taste. Lamb's lettuce is therefore grown in late summer from July to September. If sown in September or early October, you will not be able to harvest until the following spring. The plant requires very little fertilizer and is therefore the ideal successor crop for medium and low-yielding vegetable plants. From November onwards, it is advisable to cover with leaves or brushwood so that the soil does not freeze through and harvesting is also possible in winter at temperatures above freezing. Lamb's lettuce can also be grown in an unheated greenhouse or cold frame. Good ventilation is important in sunny weather, otherwise mildew may set in.
