Organic Lettuce Seedling

Our Lettuce seeds are selected for their high germination rates and their ability to thrive in the Gambian climate. Starting from seed allows you to plant in successions, ensuring you have a steady supply of crisp, fresh leaves all season long.

The Benefits of Starting from Seed

• Greater Variety: Growing from seed gives you access to unique textures and flavors not always found in markets.
• Succession Planting: Sow a few seeds every two weeks for a never-ending salad harvest.
• Cost Effective: One pack of seeds can produce dozens of heads of lettuce.

Sowing Tip: Lettuce seeds are very small and need light to germinate. Sow them very shallowly—about 3mm deep—and keep the soil misted so it stays moist but not soaked. In the hot Gambian sun, providing partial shade during the germination phase will help the young sprouts survive.
