Super Jericho Lettuce
Lactuca sativa
Price: $3.25
SKU: 3240012150-55 days to maturity. Super Jericho is a romaine-type lettuce variety that was developed in the desert heat of Israel. This gives it excellent heat tolerance and strong resistance to bolting, even in warm climates. It produces large, dense heads weighing between 2 and 3 pounds, filled with bright green, crisp leaves. The plants are also tolerant of both powdery mildew and downy mildew, making them a reliable choice in challenging growing conditions.
Super Jericho can be harvested early as a baby lettuce (as pictured) for tender leaves, or allowed to grow to full maturity, at which point it forms a tighter, more compact head.

Planting Instructions: Lettuce and other greens thrive in cool spring and fall weather (50° F to 60° F). A few greens can handle summer heat, but most of them prefer the cooler temperatures of spring and fall. Most lettuce and greens can withstand occasional exposure to light frost but if very cold weather is coming, protect your plants with a frost cover.
Sowing: Prepare the seedbed outdoors using a hard tined rake, smoothening out the soil. Lightly sow and just barely cover the seeds with soil. Keep soil moist until germination is achieved. You can also start seeds indoors by sowing into seed starting trays using fresh new seed starting potting mix into clean seed starting trays. Just barely cover the seeds and keep well watered until they sprout. Harden off and transplant into the garden after about 3 weeks.
