Lettuce 'Rachel' / 'Larissa' / 'Brighton'

Sowing method: For early cultivation: from late November to early February. Autumn cultivation: from mid-August to mid-September. Sow in the greenhouse or under film in rows 30 cm apart. Sow shallowly, just covering the seeds. After emergence, thin to 30 cm within the row. Do this when the seedlings are 2-4 cm tall. Lettuce germinates very well at fairly low temperatures (up to approx. 18°C).
