Leaf Asparagus Lettuce "Barba dei Frati"
New
Leaf asparagus lettuce "Monk's Beard".
Italian style: crunchy, carved, and very "fast".
An early-ripening variety, the name of which translates from Italian as "Monk's Beard" due to the shape of its long green leaves with pronounced serrations. Unlike ordinary salad greens, it has a juicy, crunchy texture reminiscent of asparagus.
Characteristics:
• Growth type: The variety works like a "green assembly line". After the first harvest, the leaves regrow very quickly.
• Reliability: Resistant to bolting (flowering) and grows stably regardless of day length, making it ideal for growing from spring to autumn.
• Taste: Very delicate, without bitterness, with a pleasant crunch.
Agrotechnics.
1. Soil preparation: The best precursors are cabbage and potatoes (under which organic matter was applied). In autumn, the bed is dug up with humus. If the soil is acidic, liming is mandatory. In spring, mineral fertilizers are added.
2. Sowing: Open ground — early April. Sow in wide rows (spacing 60-70 cm). Depth 1.5-2 cm. The soil is rolled (compacted) before and after sowing for better seed contact.
3. Care:
• Thinning: At the stage of the 1st true leaf (leaving 5-7 cm between plants).
• Feeding: With complex mineral fertilizer immediately after thinning.
• Watering: Important nuance! Water strictly along the furrows (between rows), avoiding getting water on the leaves to prevent the appearance of rot.
Harvesting: Leaves are cut at the very surface of the soil.
1.0 g = 1000-1200 seeds.
Italian style: crunchy, carved, and very "fast".
