Lettuce 'All Year Round' Seeds

Overview

Lettuce 'All Year Round' is a butterhead lettuce with lovely compact crisp hearts.

It can as the name suggests be sown all year round - autumn sown ones will need to be sown under cover but will be ready to harvest in the spring. Can be sown March - August and excellent for successional sowing and it is slow to bolt.

Home-grown lettuces loose none of their freshness and crispness and are at their best when used straight from the garden. There is no better or fresher way.

(Sowings may benefit from cloche or fleece protection and they might benefit from sowing inside in very cold spells and transplanting seedlings outside and then fleecing).
