Mr Fothergill's Lettuce Little Gem Seeds, Sweet and easy to grow. Ideal for gardens where space is limited or even in large pots if kept well watered.

Sow outdoors thinly where they are to crop, 1.5cm deep, directly into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Allow 25cm between rows. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. Thin out to 15cm apart. Water well until plants are established. Regular sowings made every two to three weeks will ensure a continuous supply.

• Fantastic, sweet flavour, from this semi-cos lettuce
• Small, tight heads with a crisp texture
• A good source of vitamin A and vitamin C

Sow time: Mar-Jul
