Saint Antoine - Head Lettuce
Ref : P3914
- Lactuca sativa
Bag of 1 gram
This old variety produces an apple with green leaves, tinged with pink-brown, offering a tender, crunchy texture.
It is adapted to a wide range of growing conditions.
For example, on January 17, St. Antoine's Day, it was customary in many places to sow the first lettuce, whatever the weather - snow or frost having no effect on the day. This Anthony has nothing to do with his Paduan namesake. He lived as a hermit over 1300 years before him. Although this saint has now been replaced on the calendar by Roseline, this hasn't stopped many gardeners perpetuating their habits, and at the start of each year they ask seed merchants for Saint-Antoine lettuce. Of course, this name is not official and does not appear in the catalog of authorized varieties.

in bucket, in the ground
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. You can also sow lightly, directly in the field, every 15 days for better staggered harvests, then thin out. This type of sowing produces hardier plants, less susceptible to bolting.
