Why Grow Cherokee Red Lettuce?

A Beautiful Burst of Color Cherokee Red Lettuce has striking, deep red leaves that add a burst of color and flavor to your fall or spring garden. This lettuce has crisp leaves with a rich, robust flavor. They're great alone in a wide range of dishes, or mix them with your favorite green lettuce for a colorful medley.

Extended Harvest Window Cherokee Red Lettuce is one of the most heat-tolerant lettuce varieties we have found. Due to its exceptional heat tolerance, it has a long harvest window when grown in the late winter months into spring. This is great for backyard gardeners who only need to harvest 1-2 heads a time.

Cherokee Red Lettuce Growing Tips

• When to Plant Lettuce

Lettuce is a "cool season" vegetable that grows best in the fall and early spring months. Lettuce plants don't like warmer weather, and as a result will typically "bolt" quickly or have a bitter taste when grown in the hottest months of the year.

Cherokee Red Lettuce can be grown as a head lettuce or leaf lettuce. Either way, it will usually perform best when planted from transplants. It can be directly sewn in the garden if only using for leaf lettuce, but you'll get more from your pack of seeds when growing it as head lettuce.

Start seeds in your greenhouse or seed starting room 3-4 weeks before your intended in-ground planting date. Once the lettuce seedlings have an established root ball and can be easily pulled from their cells/containers, they're ready to transplant.

For smaller, compact heads of lettuce, place transplants 6-8" apart in your garden. For larger heads of lettuce, place transplants 10-12" apart. Lettuce works great when planted on double or triple rows to maximize space in your garden.

• How to Fertilize Lettuce

It's always a good idea to apply some pre-plant fertilizer to the soil prior to planting lettuce. We like to sprinkle Coop Gro organic fertilizer on our raised beds or along our rows prior to planting. This ensures the plants have the right nutrients to put down roots in their new soil.

Because lettuce is such a fast growing crop, often times the pre-plant fertilizer is all it needs to form a nice head of lettuce. If your lettuce plants aren't as green as you'd like, consider side-dressing them with more Coop Gro organic fertilizer or making a liquid solution of AgroThrive General Purpose Fertilizer and pouring it alongside the plants

• When to Harvest Lettuce

Lettuce can be harvested at any time throughout the growth cycle of the plant. We prefer to wait and harvest the entire head at once, but many gardeners will choose to only pluck a few leaves as they need them.

Cherokee Red Lettuce will form heads as it enlarges. The heads aren't as compact as butterhead or romaine lettuce, but it does form a head. Wait until the leaves start to form a distinct head, then cut at the base of the soil. Don't wash lettuce until you're ready to use it, as it usually doesn't store well once the leaves are wet.

A favorite in our house!
Pattern Name: Ultra Ring, Size: Large, Pattern Name: Ultra Ring, Size: Large
~ Recommend if you have a dog who: is a heavy chewer/tugger, loves to chase squirrely things (it can have a wacky roll to it, which my dog thinks is so fun), gets their toys dirty or slobbery. My pup is 65 pound pitty mix - i'd definitely say this is for big dogs. Maybe medium (45+ pounds, ish?). Just my opinion, of course... but I think it's a bit thick/heavy for small pups to grab. ~ My pup LOVES this ring toy! I got this back in October - so it has been through the ringer. Atlas isn't usually a super heavy chewer, but with this toy she is. Not only does she love to play with it, she will even bring it to her bed to comfort chew (i think she likes the pressure on her back teeth... this rubbery material is SUPER sturdy but also has a little bit of "give" so I don't worry at all about her teeth). She loves to chase it / catch it on the roll. She brings it to me on the daily for play. Its good for tug, chase, or fetch. Perfect for the beach or any environment, really, as it's super easy to clean... so it comes with us everywhere. We will probably have this toy forever... there's not a single puncture mark yet. So, for me worth the cost 10x over.

It’s Trash
Pattern Name: Tug Frisbee, Size: Large
Lasted maybe 1 minute… I gave it to my dog turned to throw away package, when I looked back dog had already taken a chunk off … might as well have given him the dollar bills it took to buy … they would probably last as long

Arguably bulletproof
Pattern Name: Tug Pull, Size: Large
All good. The gauge is slightly large which my dog, Magnum {66 lb American Stafordshire Terrier), struggles with - slightly. Not a big problem and I am thinking that if the guuge were smaller, Magnum would be able to chew through it and ruin the toy. Comfy grip. Center piece or grip works great also because Magnum likes to grip that which allows the 2 handles to be free for human pulling. Walmart has/had a similar item, but..........one end has tiny spikes meant for the dog to grip. My dog never liked that end, however, so I always got the ucomfortable knobly end and he got the smooth human end - hah ha. Too, Magnum chewed through two of these Walmart toys., I have seen Magnum chewing on this reviewed toy, but I am seeing zero damage. Walmart's toy is cheaper, but the lifetime guarantee on this Tuff Tug toy eliminartes any price advantage. Update 6 months later - the product appears to be bulletproof.....until it wasn't. Everyone on the dog park marveled at the item's amazing durability in terms of daily severe abuse AND my dog's preoccupation with gnawing on the toy. Not only does it hold up, but there are almost no discernable chew marks. All of that said, the toy did finally show some coming apart today (mid March '24 - bought Oct '23 with lots of daily chewing and tug of war abuse). Remarkably, with a good 30% of the item's thickness chewed through - it still stands up to severe and constant tug of war strain......like nothing ever happened! We joke at the dog park that tbe toy is made of Kryptonite. Yes, it's now damaged some, but I feel it is well worth the 20.00 price for the service it has delivered...

Great chew toy, poor frisbee
Pattern Name: Tug Frisbee, Size: Large
Bought the Tug Frisbee. It's a terrific chew/tug toy (I'd give it 5 stars for this), but it's a very poor frisbee (I'd give it 1 star for this). The material is really heavy, flexible and tough which is why it's such a great chew/tug toy. But this makes a very poor flyer. And the weight is concerning enough that I wouldn't throw it at our dog. We got a great toy out of this, just not a frisbee.

Great for my beautiful blue heeler
Pattern Name: Tug Frisbee, Size: Large
If you know what a Blue Heeler cattle dog can do is pretty similar to a velociraptor. She is not damaged this in any way shape or form and, really enjoys chasing it. Just simply toss it, very sturdy, simple to clean, just the right size. I have tested a lot of toys with her, she has destroyed a lot of toys, this one's pretty much indestructible.
