Description
This Golden Gotte Lettuce is an early variety with rapid development that offers, very early in spring, pretty little golden green heads made up of delicious tender leaves. It is ideal for early sowing under cover. Sow from February to March for a harvest from May to June.
If lettuce is one of the most popular vegetables (consuming 4.2 kilos per person per year), it is equally loved for its freshness, crunchiness, as well as its taste and nutritional qualities. It can be eaten raw in salads but also cooked, to accompany peas, for example.
As the ultimate leaf vegetable, Lettuce is an annual plant that belongs to the large Asteraceae family. Its Latin name, Lactuca sativa, refers both to the white sap (lactuca) that flows when it is cut and to the fact that it is cultivated (sativa).
It is an essential vegetable in any respectable vegetable garden and there are so many varieties that it can be grown almost all year round.
Growing Lettuce is easy as long as you respect the growing calendar for each variety. Its growth is rapid and it thrives in any soil, provided it is rich and remains moist.
Harvest: Simply cut it with a knife when it reaches ripeness.
Storage: Lettuce can be stored for a few days in the refrigerator but, to enjoy its freshness to the maximum, we recommend consuming it just after harvesting.
Gardener's tip: A real nightmare for gardeners, slugs and snails love lettuce leaves. When the hunt is on, we must admit that we are ready to do anything to repel or eliminate them: ash (which will be quickly leached by rain), the homemade beer trap (which hedgehogs get drunk on until they are in an alcoholic coma), the copper bands that are supposed to electrocute them (which tickle them a little)...
Instead of wasting your time and potentially your salads, we recommend using an anti-slug product composed of ferric phosphate known as Ferramol. Unlike metaldehyde-based anti-slugs, which are dangerous for wildlife and polluting, Ferramol is natural, non-toxic, and very effective as long as you remember to 'treat' your plot a few days before sowing.

Planting and care
Sowing:
The germination of lettuce occurs at a temperature of around 18° and takes an average of 10 days.
Sowing is done from February to March for a harvest from May to June.
On well-prepared and loosened soil, trace furrows spaced 25 cm (10in) apart, with a depth of 0.5 cm (0.2in). Sow in rows, spacing the seeds 4 cm (2in) apart and cover. After germination, when the plants are well-developed, thin them out to leave one plant every 25 cm (10in).
If your vegetable garden is often prey to slugs and snails, we recommend sowing under cover, in small pots, and transplanting them to the garden when the plants are well-developed.
Cultivation:
Lettuce is not a very demanding vegetable, but it still requires humus-rich soil, otherwise it tends to bolt prematurely. It is advisable to apply a moderate amount of mature compost in autumn, by hoeing it in to a depth of 5 cm (2in), after loosening the soil as you would for any vegetable crop. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral soils (pH between 5.5 and 7.5).
During cultivation, remember that lettuce prefers moist soil and remember to water regularly.
Lettuce is a good companion plant, it can easily be interplanted with slower-growing vegetables such as beans, tomatoes, cucumbers... Just avoid planting it next to corn.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
