A couple of each loose leaf, butterhead, and romaine types with a variety of colors, textures, tastes, and maturation times. We like to grow this mix not just for full-sized heads but for baby greens as well, just sow seeds closely together in rows (50-60 seeds per foot) and harvest at 3-4”. Sow every 14 days for a continuous supply of greens all season. The Pinetree Lettuce Mix has become our best selling item.
