Mild, Non-Bitter Flavor: Red Salad Bowl Lettuce is known for its delicate, sweet flavor that stays mild and non-bitter, even in warm weather. Versatile Harvesting: Whether you prefer baby leaf harvests (30 days) or wait for a full-sized head (50 days), this lettuce provides flexibility to fit your gardening needs. Excellent Heat Tolerance: Unlike many lettuce varieties that bolt in the heat, Red Salad Bowl Lettuce can withstand higher temperatures, making it ideal for warm climates and summer gardening. Perfect for Baby Leaf Growers: This variety is popular among baby leaf growers due to its fast-growing nature and tender, flavorful leaves that are perfect for mixed salads and garnishes. Historical Significance: Introduced to American gardens in 1955, Red Salad Bowl Lettuce is a classic heirloom variety. Lettuce itself has a long and rich history, with wild lettuce originating in Asia Minor. The ancient historian Herodotus records its presence on the tables of 6th-century Persian kings, and it quickly spread throughout Europe. Christopher Columbus brought lettuce to the New World, and since then, it has become a staple crop in gardens worldwide. Planting & Growing Tips: Direct Sow: Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-drained soil. Space plants about 6-8 inches apart to allow for proper growth. Sunlight: Grows best in full sun, though it can tolerate some partial shade during the hottest parts of the day. Watering: Lettuce prefers cool, moist conditions, so keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Harvesting: For baby leaves, begin harvesting in just 30 days. For full heads, wait until they reach about 9 inches in height and harvest in 50 days.
