Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation is required for Romaine lettuce seeds.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date, or sow seeds directly into the garden after the danger of frost has passed.
Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-drained soil or seed-starting mix.
Space seeds 6-8 inches apart in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.

Germination:

Seeds typically germinate within 7-10 days when soil temperatures are between 45°F to 80°F (7°C to 27°C).
Maintain consistent moisture during the germination period by watering lightly.

Transplanting:

Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and seedlings have at least 2-3 true leaves.
Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week.
Plant seedlings at the same depth they were growing in their containers, ensuring the soil is firmly pressed around the roots.

Care and Maintenance:

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Water at the base of the plants to prevent leaf rot.
Weeding: Remove weeds regularly to reduce competition for nutrients and moisture.
Harvesting: Harvest outer leaves when they reach the desired size, leaving the inner leaves to continue growing. Alternatively, harvest the entire head when it reaches maturity.
