Bibb Lettuce If you are looking for a tasty, beautiful ingredient that will elevate your salads and sandwiches, I recommend this bibb lettuce. It has a gorgeous, light green color that will make your dish pop, and a hearty, crisp texture that makes it stand out from the crowd. Whether you're using it as a base for a salad or a wrap for your favorite sandwich fillings, bibb lettuce is a great choice. It adds a refreshing crunch and flavor that will make your meals pop.

It is a type of butterhead lettuce that is known for its delicate flavor and tender leaves. It is smaller than other types of butterhead lettuce, such as Boston lettuce, and has a more compact head. The leaves of bibb lettuce are also more frilly and have a more pronounced buttery flavor.

  How to Save Seeds

 

Lettuce is a self pollinator, so you can grow different varieties 50 ft apart. Lettuce needs to be about 2 inches tall when the cold weather moves in so planting will largely depend upon location. The plants are them mulched heavy until next year when they will begin to bolt upwards. Once they do bolt the lettuce can no longer be eaten as it will be bitter. The plant sends forth a stalk into the air 4 to 5 ft high. Then flowers appear and continue to open for over a month and then the seeds also start coming in. Watch the plant for feathery seeds and then collect them by shaking over a paper bag.
