Muir Greenleaf Lettuce

UDSA Certified Organic.  These beautiful, wavy, medium-to-dark green leaves are a loose-leaf lettuce, meaning they do not form around a head. These broad leaves offer a sweet, crisp flavor that makes a crunchy and delicious addition to sandwiches, burgers, and salads, as they are more flavorful than traditional iceberg lettuce.

Each plant is started from certified organic seeds and grown organically at The Bloomery, LLC where it is USDA Certified Organic through the Kentucky Department of Agriculture. Each plant is grown in a 3-inch square pot and shipped in a plastic shell that holds your plant securely in place.

Plant Spacing:

• Babyleaf – continuous band.
• Full size – 8-12”

Row Spacing:

• Babyleaf - ¾” between bands, 16 rows/36” bed.
• Full size - 12-18” or 3 rows/36” bed, 5’ centers.

Other Considerations:

• Harden off seedlings by reducing water and temperature for 2-3 days before transplanting. 

Harvest:

• Cut lettuce holds best when harvested in the morning and cooled rapidly. 
• For salad mix or baby leaf production, harvest individual leaves when they reach desired size, or cut evenly across the bed making sure to stay above the growing tip. 
• For a continuous harvest, sow lettuce every 3 weeks.

Storage:

• Store just above freezing temperatures with 98% humidity.
