  • Sow thinly in rows 12 inches apart and cover with ¼ inch of fine soil.

  • Firm lightly and keep evenly moist.
  • Seedlings emerge in 7-10 days.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

    How to Grow

    • Thin to stand 8 inches apart when seedlings are 1-2 inches tall.
    • Keep lettuce plants well watered during dry periods to promote rapid, uninterrupted growth.
    • Lettuce is shallow-rooted, so avoid disturbing the soil around the plants when weeding.
    • Unless there is regular rainfall, lettuce plants must be watered deeply at least once a week and more frequently during periods of drought.
    • Mulch with a layer of compost or clean straw to help the soil retain moisture.
