Lettuce is the most widely used salad crops in Britain – handy then, that it's easy to grow and can be raised well into winter.
This level of popularity has led to the breeding of hundreds of fancy leaf shapes and colours, many of which are available for home growing and are largely more flavoursome than the tiny selection you can buy in supermarkets.
Winter lettuce (sown in late summer or autumn) generally tastes better and lacks the bitterness sometimes found in summer-harvested plants.
Jamie Oliver might know his Cavalo Nero from his cauliflower, but do you?
