Care
Plant in a well-drained, Sunny position adding Yates Thrive Natural Garden Lime and Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone to the soil before planting. Water regularly and apply Yates Thrive Soluble Plant Food weekly. Make successive sowings every few weeks. Water at base of plant, rather than overhead, to minimise risk of disease. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
Great companion plant for Beans, beets, carrots, cucumbers, onion, peas, radish and strawberries. Head lettuce prefer to be well mulched in hot conditions.
