    Hi all, I've never grown winter lettuce before so I'm hoping for some hints and tips. Seeds I have so far are-
    Arctic king
    Marvel of four seasons
    All year round
    Winter density
    I'm thinking they will go in my unheated greenhouse in pots and grow bags.
    The main question I have is can I use any of these as cca? I've done some research but I'm still not sure:noidea:I don't really want a glut come spring.
    Any advice welcomed:ThankYou:

    I only ever grew winter lettuce once, and that was in a greenhouse year ago.

    And yes they all were ready at the same time, in the early spring.

    Not sure many would out last the slugs in my garden.
