"Loaded Lettuce" Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce Seed Packets

These groovy seed packets are a collaboration between Milwaukee-based folk singer Trapper Schoepp and Bentley Seeds, a NY-based seed supplier since 1975. Launched in accompaniment to Trapper's album "May Day," which is inspired by agricultural tradition and renewal, the seeds spread the message of Trapper's music and encourage new people to try gardening. A QR code on the back of the packet links to Trapper's music for a multimedia experience. Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce is an early-producing green leaf lettuce that is tender and curled, making it perfect for salads and sandwiches. Enjoy the fresh, crisp flavor of this classic variety in your garden! Growing Instructions: Plant Bentley Seed Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce seeds in prepared soil 1/4 inch deep. Thin plants to 8" apart. The young thinnings can be eaten and are considered "baby greens." Pull the outside leaves regularly for fresh use to encourage the inside leaves to continue maturing. For a second harvest in the fall, plant again in late summer. Uses: Great for fresh salads, sandwiches, and garnishes.
