A Historic Lettuce with Modern Resilience

Easy Sowing and Continuous Harvest

Sow your organic Black Seeded Simpson lettuce seeds directly in rich soil and full sun as soon as the soil can be worked (around 35°F). For a continuous harvest of fresh lettuce throughout the season, especially in cool summer or warm winter areas, plant a new crop every 2 weeks, thinning seedlings to 6-8 inches apart in rows 1-2 feet apart. Ensure adequate moisture, especially due to its shallow roots, and consider companion planting with onions, cucumbers, or carrots for added benefits.
