| 50 days from sowing. If you add only one new lettuce variety to the garden this year, it should be Multigreen 3. This is one of an entirely new type of lettuce, the "multileaf." A perplexing name (aren't all lettuce multi-leaved?), it simply means that this lettuce has 1 1/2 to 2 times the number of leaves as most others, and every leaf, from the outermost in, is about the same length and of the same texture. No more wasted "wrapper" or "outer" leaves, and almost double the volume on every plant! This is the lettuce we've been waiting for! Multigreen 3 is very fast growing, with uniformly serrated leaves with a crisp yet succulent bite. Very long-lasting before or after harvest, they should be at the heart of your lettuce crop; the one you can trust all season long for big, delicious yields. And the plants are even resistant to tip burn! Begin harvesting this lettuce young, when it is still slightly soft. It will repay you with unbeatable flavor and texture! Pkt is 100 seeds. |
