Yatesdale is a great disease resistant, slow bolting, headed variety of Lettuce.It has large heads of excellent flavour
Like most annual vegies, lettuce needs a well-drained soil with loads of tasty organic matter such as compost, a bit of a feed and some lovely mulch. Prepare your lettuce bed about two weeks before planting seedlings by lightly working compost and a little bit of pelletised poo-based fertiliser through the soil. Add a bit of mulch, to a depth of about 5-7cm, walk away, and count the days to planting time.
Water is vital, as lettuces have shallow roots and thus need frequent watering, especially in hot and/or windy weather. Keep the area well mulched such as lucerne and test soil moisture regularly. If soil is left to dry out, lettuce may run to seed, taste bitter or die.
Oh don't forget to protect from caterpillars by using Tomato and Vegetable dust
