Yes, this lettuce really was developed and grown by the Amish. It’s a true heirloom, and it adds an extra dimension to lettuce since it’s equally good when eaten raw as a salad or cooked as vegetable. The elongated leaves make it look like it can’t be a lettuce at all, but the flavour speaks for itself. It forms heads, but they’re loose and quite upright. As an added bonus, it’s a slow bolter that gives you an extended harvest period.

  • Growing Information

    How to Sow

    Because the small seeds have to be sown quite shallowly, it will be easier to keep seeds moist during germination if sown in trays. Alternatively, sow a few seeds in planting stations at the correct spacing and thin after germination. Sprinkle a little loose soil over the seeds till they are no longer visible and keep moist.

    How to Harvest

    Start using the leaves as soon as they are big enough to pick, or allow it to form small loose heads. If you are able to leave some stem behind when harvesting, they may resprout.

    These are a very versatile and easy to grow plant. The leaves can be used as you would a lettuce and also work well as a Spinach leaf to stir into winter dishes.
