Lettuce (Lattuga bionda degli Ortolani)
A traditional Italian Romaine lettuce that produces large, elongated heads with crisp, light-green ("blonde") leaves. It is sweet, crunchy, and highly prized for its excellent texture in fresh salads.
☀️ Sun: Full Sun / Partial Shade. Prefers full sun, but benefits from partial shade during hot summer days to prevent bolting.
💧 Water: Regular. Requires consistent watering to keep the soil moist. Shortage of water makes the leaves tough and bitter.
🌱 Sowing: February to April (Spring crop) | August to October (Autumn crop).
🚜 Harvest: ✂️ April to June | October to December (Harvest the whole head or cut individual outer leaves).
