 TOM THUMB
Family: LETTUCE
Packet Content(approx.): 250
Tom Thumb, a still very popular Victorian English heirloom lettuce, is a very compact, early butterhead with a small tightly bunched head. The ruffled outer leaves are light medium green while the centres are creamy white with a pleasant buttery taste.
Sowing advice: Sow seed on soil surface and barely cover. Do not allow seedbed to get really dry. Thin gradually. In cooler climates lettuce may be grown straight through the summer, as well as spring and fall. Rich, moist soil is necessary. Plants may benefit from a few hours of afternoon shade in hottest summer weather.
