Growing Tips
-
Sowing depth: Press seeds just below the soil surface, about 1/8 inch deep. Lettuce seed needs light to germinate well, so do not bury seeds deeply.
-
Spacing: Thin seedlings to 8-10 inches apart for full heads, or space closer and harvest as cut-and-come-again leaves.
-
Soil temperature for germination: 40-75 degrees F. Germination is slower above 80 degrees F.
-
Direct sow or transplant: Start indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost, or direct sow as soon as soil can be worked in spring.
-
Days to maturity: Approximately 68-75 days to full head. Outer leaves can be harvested earlier.
-
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist. Lettuce has shallow roots and dries out quickly in warm weather.
-
Succession planting: Sow small amounts every 2-3 weeks to extend your harvest window.
