If you haven't already brought this lovely Little Gem lettuce into you veggie garden, don't delay. It looks like small-size romaine, but when full grown, this specialty romaine variety is about half the size of regular romaine and boasts succulent, vibrant green leaves that measure about five inches in length and about three inches in width.
A PERFECT CHOICE FOR GARDENING IN SMALL SPACES. Pop them into your terracotta pots, or alongside alongside strawberries, spinach, and carrots.
Little Gem has a pale, green heart and a crisp center with a bit sweeter taste than common lettuce. Little Gem lettuce never develops a bitter flavor.
This luscious Little Gem lettuce was developed from Romaine lettuce and a butterhead type lettuce.
Warmers temperature tends to make lettuce bolt, but if you place these babies in filtered light, in the cooler section of your jardincito, you'll be able to enjoy fresh, homegrown lettuce in your salads in a few days. These babies are ready to go right into your garden, or balcony and patio pots.
