Seed Feature - Tom Thumb Butter Lettuce

Tom Thumb is one of our favourite, crunchy, butter lettuce varieties! Dating back to 1830, this is one of the oldest tried and true heirloom lettuce varieties still being grown today!
The mini head, or dwarf lettuce, makes it ideal for those that have limited space or are growing in containers as it only grows to about the size of a large orange! You can also plant these seeds in a cold frame to grow throughout the winter.
Start sowing these seeds now (April) through to August for a continuous lettuce harvest throughout the summer. Happy growing!
