Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

Butchieb from NE Pa.. We had a wet spring right into a very dry summer, made gardening a watering chore! Hope for better in 2016.
 
'Gentilina' is a premium Italian lettuce variety, usually found in mesclun mixes, which produces an open loose head of slightly savoyed, crinkled and ruffled leaves.
Lettuce 'Gentilina' is good for baby leaf use or can be grown to full maturity. It holds well in summer heat and has good resistance to bolting. The rich green color and nice texture make this a premium salad selection.
It is one of the easiest, trouble free lettuces you can grow. It's a cut-and-come-again, that is, if you pick the outer leaves, the plant will continue to grow. Given the right conditions, this type of lettuce will produce leaves for three months or more. 30 days for babyleaf or 55 days to maturity.
Seed available from Baker Creek.
