Gourmet leaf lettuce is a mix of tender, flavorful loose-leaf varieties offering diverse textures, colors (green to red), and shapes, such as oakleaf and ruffled leaves. This visually appealing blend is fast-growing, mild-tasting, and well-suited for cut-and-come-again harvesting to provide a continuous supply for salads, wraps, and garnishes. It thrives in cool weather, prefers fertile soil, and can be grown in garden beds or containers.

To plant cole crops, choose a site with full sun and a well-prepared, fertile, moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, such as compost. Plant small transplants, spacing cabbage and cauliflower about 2 feet apart and broccoli about 1 foot apart. Provide generous irrigation and regular fertilization for rapid growth, and rotate planting locations to prevent diseases.
