Notes
'Chalupa' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Chalupa') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance beds. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and reaches maturity in 45 days, so you can harvest it early.
Pairs well with Del Monte spinach, Alpha calendula, and Mountain Fresh Plus tomato.
