Planting instructions:
Lettuce is cool-season crop that grows well in the spring and fall in most regions. Lettuce seedlings will even tolerate a light frost.
Sow any time soils are above 40°F. Seeds germinate best at 55 to 65°F and will emerge in only 7 to 10 days. Because lettuce grows quickly, plant a small amount at a time, staggering your plantings to a continued harvest!
- Direct sowing is recommended as soon as the ground can be worked. If you want an earlier crop, however, you may start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before your last spring frost date for an earlier crop.
- Lettuce can be sown after soils reach 40°F though seeds germinate best at 55 to 65°F and will emerge in 7 to 10 days.
- Seeds should be planted ¼-½ inch deep and thinned when plants have 3 to 4 true leaves.
- Transplants should have 4 to 6 mature leaves and a well-developed root system before planting out.
- Transplants should be planted near the last frost-free date for the growing area. Seeded lettuce may be planted 2 to 3 weeks earlier.
- For either seeded or transplanted lettuce, have 12 to 15 inches between each row.
- Leaf lettuce: Plant 4 inches apart.
- Cos and loose-headed types: Plant 8 inches apart.
- Firm-headed types: Plant 16 inches apart.
- Cover the seeds with ¼ to ½ inch of soil.
- Water thoroughly at time of transplanting.
