Characteristics of Long Standing Batavian lettuce
Long Standing Batavian lettuce, Lactuca sativa, is a mid-season variety from the United States. It has a large, light-green head with thick, blistered leaves and a crunchy texture. Like all batavia lettuces, it can be eaten raw or cooked.
Sowing Long Standing Batavian lettuce
The ideal sowing period is from February to May in pots under cover, and from March to September in the garden. Batavia lettuce is harvested from April to December.
Seedlings should be sown one month before planting in the vegetable garden, at a temperature of between 15 and 21°C. Cover the lettuce seeds with a light layer of soil and keep the substrate moist until emergence. Transplant into the garden, 30 cm apart in all directions, once the plants have reached the stage of 4 true leaves. Be careful, however, as transplanting can interfere with the development of the lettuce taproot.
Sow lightly directly in the ground, then thin out to 30 cm in all directions when the plants have 4 true leaves, to encourage harmonious development of the lettuces. Choose humus-rich soil and half-shade exposure. The very small seeds can be mixed with radish seeds to avoid over-dense sowing. Stagger sowing, every 15 days, to enjoy this lettuce for several months.

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 in rows 30 cm apart, every 15 days, to stagger harvesting. Thin to 10 cm, then 30 cm. This sowing technique produces more resistant plants, less susceptible to bolting.
