Wow! These little lettuce are so sweet. There is an amazing amount of seeds in the packet and I grew enough to last myself and my next door neighbours all summer. I found them so simple to grow and very little problem with pests. Good advice would be to start them off in a decent window propagator and then enjoy.

Outstanding taste
