Product code : WHPER-0103

This green leaf lettuce comes on a seed tape to make sowing easier. Its frilled foliage adds a tender and crunchy texture to salads prepared throughout the harvest season. The supplier indicates a maturity of 55 days after sowing; this timeframe may vary depending on growing conditions. Plant the seeds in fertile, loose, and well-drained soil. Consistent growth depends, in particular, on steady moisture and sufficient space between plants. Prefer cooler periods, as the crop is sensitive to bolting. In summer, pay closer attention to watering and adjust the location to account for high heat.

Consistent growth depends notably on steady moisture and sufficient space between plants. At the start of the season, prepare the equipment and check soil conditions before setting your schedule. Adapt interventions to the stage of the plants rather than a rigid date. After emergence, ensure sufficient light and space out seedlings to avoid excessive competition. Gradually acclimate plants intended for the outdoors. During growth, observe the foliage, moisture, and the potential appearance of pests.

Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Soil pH

6.0 to 7.0 — general range recommended for vegetable gardens

Watering

Regular

Soil type

Friable and well-drained

Fertilization

Base fertilization on soil fertility, the substrate used, and observed growth. Follow the dosages indicated on the chosen product; increasing applications does not guarantee better results. Pre-enriched potting soil does not require the same interventions as a poor substrate. Avoid placing concentrated fertilizer against seeds or fragile roots. Water according to the manufacturer's instructions and reduce applications when growth slows down.

Moisture

Regularly moist soil, without standing water

Seasonal care

This green curly lettuce comes on a tape for easy sowing. Its cut foliage adds a tender and crunchy texture to salads harvested throughout the season. At the start of the season, prepare your equipment and check soil conditions before setting your schedule. Adapt your actions to the plants' growth stage rather than a rigid calendar. After germination, ensure sufficient light and space the seedlings out to avoid excessive competition. Gradually acclimate plants intended for the outdoors. During growth, monitor the foliage, moisture levels, and the potential appearance of pests. Identify any problems before choosing an intervention. Remove debris that hinders airflow, keep paths accessible, and re-evaluate watering after rainfall. Note your sowing dates and key results. At the end of the cycle, clean your tools and store remaining packets in a cool, dry place. These observations will help you adjust future sowings more precisely for your location. Plant the seeds in fertile, loose, and well-drained soil. Consistent growth depends largely on steady moisture and sufficient space between plants. Prefer cooler weather periods when the crop is prone to bolting. In summer, pay closer attention to watering and adjust the location to account for high heat. Weed carefully to avoid disturbing the shallow roots. Harvest the outer leaves when this method is suitable for the variety, keeping the center intact.

Container growing

A garden,within reach.

Choose between picking young leaves or harvesting the entire rosette. Spacing and cutting time must follow this choice to maintain a tender texture. This green frilly lettuce is presented on tape to facilitate sowing. The cut foliage brings a tender and crunchy texture to salads prepared throughout the harvests. Place the container in its final location before filling it. Choose a pot with drainage holes that is stable and large enough for root development; a simple closed decorative pot does not allow for water drainage. Use a potting mix for containers rather than compact garden soil. Moisten the substrate before sowing or planting, without saturating it. Leave an empty rim to facilitate watering and keep space between the plants. Check moisture regularly with your finger, as the surface may dry out while the bottom remains moist. Water slowly until water comes out through the holes, then empty the saucer. During hot weather, check the pots more often. Fertilize according to the needs of the crop and the instructions of the chosen product. The roots have a limited volume: container gardening therefore requires different monitoring than in open ground. Position any supports upon installation. Keep easy access to inspect the leaves, remove damaged parts, and harvest without pulling on the stems. At the end of the cycle, remove debris and clean the equipment before reuse.

Garden associations

In goodcompany.

Companion plants

Organize neighboring crops according to their light requirements, height, and space occupied at maturity. Prevent tall plants from permanently shading smaller ones or blocking access for watering. Successive crops can use the same space if the first is harvested before the next one expands. Flowers diversify the garden, but companion planting does not guarantee the absence of pests. Keep enough air between plants and observe the interactions on-site. Use companion planting as an organizational tool, without attributing automatic protection against diseases to it.

Edible parts

Sheets by crop
Curly lettuce on seed tape. For 4 servings, allow 500 g (18 oz) of vegetables, 1 small onion, 15 ml (1 tbsp) of oil, and 60 ml (¼ cup) of water. Prepare a side dish of cooked vegetables with herbs, choosing only the edible parts of the harvest. Wash the vegetables, remove any damaged parts, and cut them into uniformly sized pieces. Heat a little oil in a saucepan, add a minced onion, and let it soften over medium heat. Incorporate the firmer vegetables first, then add a small amount of water to prevent them from sticking. Cover and continue cooking until they become tender. Add the delicate leaves or quick-cooking pieces towards the end. Season with fresh herbs, pepper, and a little salt to taste. Serve with rice, bread, or another cooked grain. Adjust the cooking time according to the vegetable used: the desired textures vary depending on the harvest. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a clean container. This preparation is intended to be consumed as a cooked dish; it is not a canning method.
