Green Salad Bowl Lettuce is a loose-leaf variety that delivers crisp, tender leaves ready to harvest in just 50 days. Its frilly, deeply lobed foliage grows in an open rosette that invites repeated picking, making it one of the most productive lettuces for home gardeners who want continuous harvests rather than a single all-at-once crop. Plant it in full sun with moderate water and slightly acidic to neutral soil, and you'll have salad-ready leaves throughout the season.

The genius of Green Salad Bowl lies in its harvesting rhythm. Rather than waiting for a head to form, you pick individual outer leaves as soon as they're large enough, and the plant keeps producing from the center. This extended picking window means you're never waiting for the whole plant to mature; you're grazing from it for weeks. The deeply cut leaves add visual interest to the garden and bring genuine texture to your bowl.
This lettuce is grown specifically for fresh salads, where its tender leaves shine raw. The deeply lobed foliage adds both visual appeal and pleasant texture to mixed greens, and the open, loose structure makes it simple to harvest leaves individually as you need them, rather than committing to using an entire head at once.

Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before your anticipated transplant date, then harden off seedlings before moving them outside.
Transplant seedlings outdoors once they've developed true leaves. Space thinned plants 10-14 inches apart in rows 16 inches apart.
Direct sow seeds outdoors, using row cover to improve germination and prevent soil crusting. Sow every 2-3 weeks for continuous harvest.
Begin harvesting individual leaves from the outside of the plant once they reach usable size, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing. You can pick outer leaves repeatedly throughout the season, extending your harvest window significantly. Eventually the plant will bolt and leaves become bitter, so check daily for leaves that are ready and use them promptly. You may also cut the entire plant about 1 inch above the soil and sometimes get additional harvests from regrowth.
