Description

All-American Gold Medal winner. Large, medium-green, slow bolting, non-heading and decidedly tender. Don't pull the whole plants - be selective - go down the row choosing only the largest, tenderest leaves. This way Salad Bowl will continue to replace itself the whole season

Sowing Instructions

Sow thinly from spring to mid summer 6mm (¼in) deep in drills 23cm (9in) apart. A moist well drained fertile soil which has had plenty of compost dug in the previous autumn is best. In very hot weather it is best to water the soil before sowing and sow during the early afternoon.
