The Europeans consider Batavia lettuces to be one of the best tasting lettuces. They are tasty, sweet, and they have nice texture. Blonde is a very attractive ornamental with fringed, blonde leaves. Lettuce is a cool season annual. Successive plantings can produce lettuce spring through fall. Plant in early spring, 3 to 4 weeks before the average last frost date, and successive plantings thereafter every 3 weeks until 5 weeks before fall frost. Lettuce likes light, fertile, moist, and well drained soils. They will grow in light shade. Lettuce grows well near cabbage, beets, carrots, chives, garlic, and onion.
