Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Red Cos Lettuce seeds typically do not require any special preparation before planting.
Sowing:
Sow the seeds directly into well-prepared soil in early spring or late summer, when temperatures are cooler.
Plant the seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them 6-8 inches apart in rows that are 12-18 inches apart.
Germination:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination, which usually occurs within 7-14 days.
Maintain even moisture levels by watering regularly, especially during dry periods.
Transplanting:
Thin seedlings to ensure proper spacing once they have developed several true leaves, leaving the strongest plants to mature.
If starting seeds indoors, transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and the seedlings have grown to a height of 3-4 inches.
Care and Maintenance:
Water the plants regularly, providing about 1 inch of water per week, either through rainfall or irrigation.
Mulch around plants to help retain soil moisture and suppress weed growth.
Monitor for pests such as aphids, slugs, and snails, and treat as needed with organic pest control methods.
Harvest outer leaves as needed for fresh salads, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing for successive harvests.
Happy Gardening!
