Lettuce - Kagraner Sommer (Butterhead)
From $299 USDUnit price /UnavailableDescription
The Kagraner Sommer lettuce, also known as Summer Lettuce, is a popular variety among gardeners due to its adaptability and ease of cultivation. This lettuce type is characterized by its crisp texture and mild flavor, making it an excellent choice for salads and garnishes. The plant typically reaches a height of 12 to 18 inches and produces large, loose heads that can weigh up to 1 pound each.
One of the key advantages of the Kagraner Sommer lettuce is its resistance to bolting, which is a common issue in many lettuce varieties during warmer months. This trait allows gardeners to extend their growing season, as the plant can thrive in temperatures ranging from 60Β°F to 75Β°F (15Β°C to 24Β°C). In fact, studies have shown that this variety can maintain optimal growth even when daytime temperatures exceed 80Β°F (27Β°C), making it suitable for summer gardening.
When planting Kagraner Sommer lettuce, it is essential to choose a location that receives full sun for at least six hours a day. The soil should be well-draining and rich in organic matter, with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. To enhance growth, it is advisable to incorporate compost or well-rotted manure into the soil prior to planting. This practice not only improves soil fertility but also promotes healthy root development.
In terms of spacing, seedlings should be planted approximately 12 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth. Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry spells, as lettuce has a high water content and requires consistent moisture to prevent wilting. It is recommended to water the plants deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions.
Harvesting Kagraner Sommer lettuce can begin approximately 60 to 70 days after sowing. The leaves can be picked individually or the entire head can be harvested at once. It is important to harvest in the morning when temperatures are cooler, as this helps to preserve the crispness and flavor of the leaves. Once harvested, the lettuce should be stored in a cool, dark place and consumed within a week for optimal freshness.
In conclusion, the Kagraner Sommer lettuce is an excellent addition to any garden, particularly for those looking to grow a reliable and flavorful summer crop. With proper care and attention to growing conditions, gardeners can enjoy a bountiful harvest of this nutritious leafy green.

Description
The Sorrel Large Leaf herb, scientifically known as Rumex acetosa, is a perennial plant that is valued for its distinctive tart flavor and culinary versatility. This herb is characterized by its large, arrow-shaped leaves that can grow up to 12 inches long, making it a prominent addition to any garden. Sorrel is particularly rich in vitamins A and C, and it contains oxalic acid, which contributes to its tangy taste.
In terms of cultivation, Sorrel thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level ranging from 6.0 to 7.0. It prefers full sun to partial shade, and while it is relatively hardy, it benefits from consistent moisture. The plant can tolerate a range of temperatures, but optimal growth occurs in cooler climates, typically between 60Β°F and 75Β°F (15Β°C to 24Β°C). Sorrel can be sown directly into the garden in early spring or late summer, and it is known to self-seed, allowing it to return year after year.
Harvesting Sorrel is straightforward; the leaves can be picked as needed, starting from the outer leaves and allowing the inner leaves to continue growing. It is advisable to harvest before the plant flowers, as the leaves can become tougher and more bitter after flowering. The leaves can be used fresh in salads, soups, and sauces, or they can be cooked similarly to spinach. Nutritionally, Sorrel is low in calories, with approximately 22 calories per 100 grams, making it an excellent addition to a healthy diet.
