No vegetable garden is complete without lettuces and it's hardly surprising, given their versatility in the kitchen - and we're sure you'll appreciate the quick growing, flavoursome leaves of this organic cos-type Little Gem Delight.
The small, compact plants form a crisp, sweet heart surrounded by outside leaves and can be grown all year round with a greenhouse and cloche. Start a crop off in early spring and enjoy packing your salads, sandwiches and baguettes with leaves as little as 12 weeks later.

- Seeds certified organic by the Soil Association
- Little Gem has some resistance to downy mildew
- Suitable for growing all year round with protection
- Cos-type lettuces which form a crisp heart
- Leaves contain little calories, help aid digestion and promote a healthy liver
- Start sowing undercover in late winter/early spring for an early summer harvest
- Choose a sunny site for all but mid-summer crops
- Moisture retentive soils are a must
- Space plants 15cm apart and leave 25cm between rows
- Ideal as a quick 'catch crop' when planted amongst slower growing vegetables
- Keep well-watered when growing and during dry spells
