Grand Pa Admire - To cut Lettuce
This very old variety, not very sensitive to bolting, forms a wide rosette of loose, bronze-tinted green leaves. They remain tender even in hot weather.
The peripheral leaves can be cut off, one by one, as needed. New leaves develop after successive harvests.

Sow in pots or slabs at a temperature of 10-18°C, one month before planting. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil, press lightly and water. Once the plants have 4 leaves, prick out. Alternatively, sow lightly, directly into the ground, every 15 days for better staggered harvests, then thin out. This type of sowing produces hardier plants, less susceptible to bolting.

This ancient American variety has been lovingly preserved by the descendant of George Admire, an American Civil War veteran born in 1822. Chloe Lowry sold it to the Seed Savers Exchange in the 1970s.
