Notes
'Salad Bowl' lettuce (Lactuca sativa 'Salad Bowl') is a vegetable for containers and food gardens, and it needs little upkeep. It is typically grown as an annual. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun to part shade and average to moist soil of most types. It grows fast and stays 6 to 12 inches tall, so you can sow it in pots and harvest leaves soon after.
Pairs well with Carrot, Dill, Garlic, and Beet/chard.
