Everwilde Farms - 500 Organic Salad Bowl Leaf Lettuce Seeds - Gold Vault Jumbo Bulk Seed Packet

Salad Bowl is an ideal lettuce variety for the home vegetable garden. It forms large, lime-green rosettes of delicate, tender leaves. This variety has relatively good heat tolerance and does not get bitter in hot weather. The baby leaves are ready for harvest in just 28 days and reach full size in about 50 days. Wild lettuce, from which modern lettuce is derived, originated in Asia Minor. The ancient historian Herodotus records its presence on the tables of 6th century Persian kings, and throughout the following centuries it became a popular crop all over Europe. Columbus brought it with him to the New World, starting its spread over the North American continent. Without a doubt, lettuce now holds a place in nearly every garden on the globe.
