Lettuce Bauer

2022 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

Oakleaf lettuce is a delicious and versatile edible that is super easy (and fast) to grow in the garden. Harvest at the baby leaf stage or grow into the rosette-shaped full-sized head. Bauer will please with its darker green color and nicely uniform compact size that can be grown almost anywhere…in-ground, containers, or window boxes. The dense heads produce a plethora of sweet, crisp sturdy leaves. Now all you need is your favorite vinaigrette!

One judge went a step further and tried growing Bauer in a home aeroponics system. He reported that it did brilliantly, making it an excellent candidate for controlled environment production.

HOW TO GROW

Bauer can be direct-seeded or transplanted and is broadly adapted for in-ground, raised bed, or container plantings. Lettuce seeds need light to germinate and should be planted 1/8 – 1/4 of an inch deep. Compact heads allow for tighter spacing than full-sized varieties. Heads should be harvested at mini to medium size for best flavor. It is recommended to plant multiple successions throughout the season for a continuous harvest.

JUDGE'S OBSERVATIONS

  • “Really liked the darker color. Nice compact plant. Enjoyed it very much.”
  • “Compact heads make it easy to grow, and the leaves are nice and sturdy.”
  • “High quality and high yielding lettuce with dark color, dense heads, and sweet crisp leaves.”
  • “Great smaller sized oakleaf because of its attractive color, field holding, and ease of harvest.”
  • “I also tested in a home aeroponics system and this cultivar did brilliantly- the dense, compact growth makes this an excellent candidate for controlled environment production.”
