Freckles lettuce is a delight in the vege garden. It is a loose leaf variety, ideal for single leaf picking. The leaves are green with red splotches, and are a sweet and crunchy addition to any salad, or in sandwiches.

Lettuces need a soil high in organic matter and nutrients, particularly nitrogen. An organic fertilizer with a seaweed base is ideal. Lettuces can be sown all year, and prefer shade from afternoon sun, particularly in the Summer.

Lettuce leaves are about 90% water, and contain folate, iron, anti-oxidants, vitamin C, and beta carotene.
