About Salad Bowl
Salad Bowl is an oakleaf heirloom lettuce with deeply lobed green leaves, tender texture, and a sweet, mild flavor. It stays loose rather than heading tightly and is known for good repeat harvest and relatively slow bolting.
Growing Salad Bowl Lettuce
It is ideal for cut-and-come-again picking, so sow densely for baby leaves or wider for larger plants. Keep harvesting outer leaves to delay bolting, and use light shade in hotter climates to stretch the season.
