Planting Instructions:
Indoors: 3-4 weeks before planting outside. Sow 1/4” deep in cells with soil temps 55-70 degrees. Transplant out 8-12” apart.
Outdoors: Sow 1/4” “deep, 1” apart. Thin to 6-12”, depending on the size of lettuce you want from baby to full heads. Keep moist during germination.
Harvest: cut whole head at base or individual leaves before lettuce starts to become bitter in the heat
Tips: Plant into fertile soil with lots of organic matter and adequate water for optimum growth. Sow heavy seeded rows every 10-14 days for baby greens using the 1 oz.
- Soil requirements: Lettuce prefers well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. The soil should be rich in organic matter to retain moisture.
- Sunlight needs: Lettuce grows best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in warmer climates.
- Watering requirements: Lettuce requires consistent moisture. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid overhead watering to prevent disease.
- Planting season: Lettuce can be planted in early spring and fall. It thrives in cooler temperatures and can tolerate light frost.
- Depth and spacing: Plant lettuce seeds about 1/4 inch deep and space them 6-12 inches apart, depending on the variety. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing once they are a few inches tall.
- Germination time: Lettuce seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Lettuce can be harvested as early as 30 days for baby greens or 45-60 days for full-sized heads, depending on the variety.
- Harvesting time: Harvest lettuce in the early morning when the leaves are crisp and full of moisture.
- Harvesting tips: Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the leaves or heads. For leaf lettuce, harvest the outer leaves first, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing. Store harvested lettuce in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
