Cultivation Advice

Lettuce is hardy and can be plant as soon as the soil can be work.
You can be direct seeding, 3 seeds every 8 inches in rows 8-12 inches apart, as early as the soil can be worked or grown indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting outdoors.
Cover seed lightly with about 1/8 inch of fine soil, and firm soil gently.
Thin young seedlings to one plant per spot.
Sow every 3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh lettuce.
Seeds germinate even at low 40-degree F soil temperature, but poorly above 75-85-degree F.
In dry weather, keep soil moist.
To test whether the heads are ready to harvest, press them gently with the back of the hand, they will feel solid and barely yield to pressure.
Easily grown indoors or out, and takes about 50 days from seed to harvest.
