Harvest and enjoy your salads

Lettuce harvesting is generally done 6 to 8 weeks after sowing, when the leaves have reached sufficient size to be consumed.

Here are some tips for harvesting and enjoying your salads:

Harvesting: To harvest lettuce leaves, cut them with a knife or pruning shears at the base of the stem. For head lettuces, take the entire head by cutting the stem a few inches from the ground.
Storage: To keep your salads fresh and crisp, place them in a perforated plastic bag in the refrigerator. They will keep for several days.
Tasting: To savor your salads, wash them carefully with clean water and drain them gently. Then, compose your salad by mixing different varieties of leaves and adding ingredients of your choice, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, oilseeds or even pieces of cheese. Season with a homemade vinaigrette and enjoy immediately to enjoy all the flavors and benefits of your freshly harvested salads.

Planting and growing lettuce at home is simple and rewarding, allowing you to enjoy fresh, flavorful, nutrient-rich vegetables all year round.

By following our advice, you will be able to choose the right time to plant your lettuce, prepare the soil and the right location, sow or plant lettuce plants, maintain and protect your plants and finally harvest and enjoy your delicious homemade salads.

So don’t hesitate to embark on this vegetable adventure and share your harvest with your loved ones!
