Moroccan Cressonnette Lettuce – Heirloom Seeds / Rare seeds

Spring sowing: end of February to March

Summer sowing: April to May it is then necessary to favor direct sowing in the ground, at the risk of seeing them rise very quickly

Harvest: about 2 months after sowing

Sowing under shelter is done between 12 to 15° in a terrine from the end of February/March. The seeds are not buried well with a thin layer of soil. Tamp down, water with a fine rain, keep moist. The first transplanting is done when the cotyledons have appeared, in pots with seed compost. Harden them in the open air little by little, before the final planting. Replant your plants in the ground, when the plants have 4-5 leaves, every 25 cm , in a sunny position, in a soil fed once a year with homemade compost. Direct sowing for your summer sowing: in a line in a furrow or on the fly, cover lightly with soil and tamp down with the back of the rake. Thin the plants as soon as they have 3 or 4 leaves, keep the most beautiful plants. Water regularly to prevent wilting and settling, remember to mulch in case of drought. Harvest: Cut the lettuce close to the ground when the “head” is well formed. Harvest in the cool of the morning, the leaves will be firmer. Type of soil: does not require any particular soil Pests: snails and slugs
