Lettuce CHERRY GROVE

The "Cherry Grove" salad is a mid-season leaf variety with semi-upright rosettes of leaves 20-25 cm in diameter. The leaves are colored raspberry-red with a green base, have ruffled edges, and feature a crispy, oily, and tender texture without bitterness. Thanks to its high taste qualities and richness in trace elements and vitamins, this variety is widely used both in culinary applications and for decorative garden bed and path arrangements.

The variety is excellent for growing in open ground and greenhouses, as well as in pots on a windowsill, allowing for fresh greens throughout the season. For sowing, it is recommended to plant seeds at the end of April at a depth of 1-2 cm, followed by thinning seedlings to a distance of 8-10 cm between plants. For continuous harvest, sowings are repeated every 2-4 weeks until mid-August. Plants require timely watering, regular weeding, loosening, and feeding with mineral fertilizers, while it is important to avoid excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers.

Special attention is paid to agronomy: the salad is sensitive to watering, which should be done in large doses at the root level to avoid root rot. To maintain freshness, the harvest is collected early in the morning or late in the evening, cutting leaves at ground level and removing damaged or yellowed parts. Thanks to its decorative qualities and pleasant aroma, "Cherry Grove" salad is a universal and attractive choice for growing both on household plots and at home.
