Planting Instructions
- Timing: Start sowing lettuce seeds outdoors in early spring for a spring crop or in late summer for a fall crop. Lettuce prefers cooler temperatures.
- Soil Preparation: Choose well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Amend with compost or aged manure for optimal growth.
- Sowing Depth: Plant lettuce seeds about 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep in rows or containers. Keep the soil evenly moist until germination, which usually occurs within 7-14 days.
- Sunlight: Lettuce prefers partial shade to full sun, especially in warmer climates. Provide afternoon shade in hot summer months.
- Spacing: Thin seedlings to proper spacing based on the lettuce type. Crisphead lettuce may require more space than loose-leaf varieties.
Growing and Care
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, and mulch to retain soil moisture.
- Fertilization: Use a balanced organic fertilizer or compost before planting and side-dress with compost during the growing season for optimal growth.
- Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for pests like aphids, slugs, and snails. Practice crop rotation and companion planting to deter pests naturally.
Harvesting
- Timing: Harvest lettuce leaves when they reach the desired size and texture. For loose-leaf lettuce, you can harvest outer leaves as needed, allowing the plant to continue growing.
- Method: Cut leaves with scissors or a knife, leaving the center leaves to grow for continuous harvesting.
