Lettuce is self-pollinating, and it will nearly always come true from seed. For seed saving, it is best to plant another crop between different lettuce varieties.

Arugula will cross-pollinate. Separate varieties by one-eighth mile or grow only one variety.

Harvesting the Seed Lettuce: When you have selected your seed plants, you must allow them to bolt. As the stalk grows, it will form a fl ower head with small yellow fl owers that change to feathery tufts. Tucked inside are tiny black or white seeds. Lettuce seeds don’t always ripen at once. [Save 125 seeds to return to the library.]

Arugula: Allow plants to bolt and form seed stalks. Seed heads may need to be protected from bird damage and rain when drying on the plants. Seeds are produced over a two- to three-week period and will require repeated harvesting. [Save 250 seeds to return to the library.]
