Notes
'Penlake' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Penlake') is a vegetable for containers, food gardens, and low maintenance growing. It is typically grown as an annual. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and stays erect, so you can sow it again for steady harvests.
Pairs well with Beet/chard, Candy carrot, Garlic, and Dill.
