Variety: Buttercrunch
Seed Co: Territorial LT392
Description: Crispy and crunchy, very light textured. Semi-heading. Great for sandwiches and fresh eating.
Sown: 3/15/08
Transplanted: 4/17/08
Germination: good, very slow comparatively, took about 12 days to fully germinate
First Harvest: 5/25/08
Days to maturity: Stated: 48 Actual: 40-50
Held in field/length of harvest: Was good eating from May 25 through July 5, or about 5 weeks
Problems: Very attractive to slugs, I had to put Sluggo down once a week to keep them from getting eaten too much
Results: Great spring lettuce, held for a very long time without bolting. I probably planted too much at one time, and should have split my indoor sowing into two groups 3 weeks apart. I’ll be planting more soon for fall and winter harvest.
Transplanted at four weeks old under plastic during a cold month of April.
5 weeks later just big enough to start cutting.
