Buttercrunch Bibb Lettuce

From Hudson Valley Seed Company. Purchased in 2023.

Description and growing instructions below from Hudson Valley Seeds.

Bibb lettuce possesses a tantalizing texture: at once smooth and crisp. The round leaves wrap loosely together. A beautiful and fun-to-eat salad can be made by harvesting the whole head and setting the plant in a salad bowl (remove the core first). Toss some shredded veggies and roasted nuts on top, drizzle with dressing, and voila! A true delicacy that far outshines a supermarket salad.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS.

Sow indoors beginning 8-10 weeks before last frost, or direct sow beginning about 4 weeks before last frost. Harvest late spring and summer sowings promptly to beat bolting. Continue sowing until about 2 weeks before first fall frost. Lettuce likes steady (but not excessive) moisture and can become prematurely bitter during dry spells; keep irrigated for best-tasting leaves.
