Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation: No special preparation required, but can be soaked in water for a few hours to speed up germination.
Sowing:
Sow seeds directly into the garden or in containers. Scatter seeds lightly over the soil surface and cover with a thin layer of soil (about 1/8 inch). Space rows about 12-18 inches apart.
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days at temperatures between 60-75°F. Keep the soil consistently moist during this period. Transplanting: Lettuce is best sown directly where it is to grow, but if starting indoors, transplant seedlings when they have 2-3 true leaves, spacing them about 6-12 inches apart. Handle seedlings gently to avoid damage.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged, especially during dry periods. Thinning: Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to ensure good air circulation and growth. Weeding: Keep the area around the plants weed-free to reduce competition for nutrients and water. Harvesting: Harvest leaves as needed once they reach a usable size, typically 4-6 inches. For the best flavor, harvest in the morning when the leaves are crisp and hydrated. Regular harvesting encourages new growth and extends the harvest period.
