Sowing Guidelines

Outdoor Sowing (Recommended for Best Growth):

• Direct sow in early spring or late summer for fall harvests.
• Plant seeds ¼ inch deep, spaced 6-8 inches apart in rows 12-18 inches apart.
• Thin seedlings to 8-12 inches apart once they develop true leaves.

Indoor Sowing (For Early Starts or Extended Harvests):

Germination & Growth

• Ideal growing temperature: 55-70°F (13-21°C).

Harvesting

• For full heads, cut at the base when the lettuce is firm and well-formed (65-75 days).
• Harvest in the morning for the best flavor and crispness.
