Summer Crisp / Batavian Lettuce Seeds
(OP) 48 days
In our opinion, Summer Crisp (aka Batavian) lettuces are the absolute finest group of lettuces to grow. They can be produced under cool conditions (like other lettuces), yet still will be standing, long after other heat resistant lettuces have bolted. Summer crisp looks like loose-leaf lettuce when young. Dense, heavy heads develop at maturity.
Nevada summer crisp lettuce forms handsome, large, heat tolerant heads. The flavor is juicy and nutty - it is among the best tasting of all lettuces. Crunchy, smooth and buttery, ruffled and textured leaves may also be harvested individually.
Growing Nevada Summer Crisp / Batavian Lettuce Seeds
Planting summer crisp lettuce: Sow seed in cell packs or flats, press into soil and cover lightly. Kept at 65°F., germination averages 7-14 days. Can direct sow into prepared seed beds 1 in. apart in rows 12-18 in. apart. Thin to 12 in. apart.
Harvesting summer crisp lettuce: Pick leaves at baby size, or allow plants to head. Summer Crisp lettuce can be harvested by removing a few of the outer leaves of the head; the plants will continue to grow and produce. Or alternatively, harvest entire large, gorgeous head at once. Leaves are thick, juicy, and flavorful. Summer Crisp lettuces are extraordinarily heat tolerant.
