Lactuca sativa
Iceberg lettuce has tightly packed, pale green-white leaves. It got its name from the way it was traditionally packed on ice for transportation. Lettuce is a source of folate & supplies small amounts of vitamin C. The darker outer leaves also provide beta-carotene.
Start early indoors or seed directly outdoors in early spring & again in mid to late summer. When plants are 5 or 8cm high, thin to 25 to 30cm. Seedlings started indoors can be planted outside after danger of serious frost has passed.

More About Us
ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.
We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.
We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.
Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
