  • Grow Your Own Needs Your Tips!

    Grow Your Own is putting together a top ten of winter lettuces.

    We'd love to know what your favourite variety is to grow and why.

    Tips may be published in our September issue so keep an eye on the mag, as you may end up in print!

    I always grow Rusty (it self-seeds now). It is superb: stands outside all winter, then gets away in the spring. Pretty dark red colour, crispy leaves. The early spring growth is a bit prone to greenfly, but just wash them off with a can of water, or squish.

    It is just starting to bolt now, in June. Lovely

      I've always grown Winter Density - it's a good doer for me. However, this year, on joining the Heritage Seed Library, I received a packet of Stoke lettuce. This is like a small cos and very hardy. I've still got a few growing outside. I will certainly sow this again.

        Have been impressed with sherwood this year. Don't know how it will stand up to the winter but am going to give it a trial this winter.

          Winter Density has to be a great all rounder, robust, crisp delish!
