I have written posts for Mother Earth about winter lettuce and Growing Lettuce Year Round, and I have a year (May to April) of postings about suitable lettuce varieties for each month on my website Sustainable Market Farming. The Lettuce Year Round article is mostly about scheduling your sowings to provide an unbroken supply of lettuce, no shortages or gluts, using succession planting techniques. Here I’m going to focus on varieties and strategies that work best early in the year.
I like to sow four lettuce varieties each time (for the attractive harvests, and to reduce the risks if one variety bolts or suffers disease): at least one red and one romaine. If you choose varieties with different numbers of days to maturity, you will stretch the harvest period (and get more choice each time you harvest).
