Why pay high supermarket prices for gourmet lettuce when you can grow your own?
Cool weather is the perfect time for planting lettuce. Lettuce seedlings are hardy and can withstand light frosts. Seeds sprout quickly in cool soil and plants grow rapidly.
Lettuce is a shallow-rooted crop that needs both good drainage and a steady supply of water. Abundant organic matter blended into garden soil helps provide these needs.
For the longest harvest, direct seed or transplant every 7-10 days.
When direct seeding, seeds can either be broadcast and planted in wide rows or spaced 8-12" apart.
