Named after John Bibb, who developed them in the 1860s, this tender, green, butterhead lettuce has large, loose heads that look like a blooming rose.
When and Where to Plant: Lettuce is a cool weather crop. Select a sunny location, cultivate, and fertilize soil with vegetable food. Plant in early spring as soon as soil can be worked. Sow seed sparingly, firming soil over row. Repeat at 2 week intervals as long as weather is cool - spring and fall. For earliest crop start seeds indoors.
Care: Water lightly and regularly. Protect from pests.
Harvesting: Pull entire plant or cut off 1-2 in./3-5 cm. above ground.
