Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Provide full sun to partial shade, about 4 to 6 hours of light daily. Afternoon shade can help reduce bolting in warm climates.
• Soil: Plant in loose, fertile, well-drained soil with a pH near 6.0 to 7.0. Mix in compost before sowing for steady leaf production.
• Timing: Direct sow about 1/8 inch deep in early spring or fall. In warm regions, sow during the cooler months.
• Succession Sowing: Sow a small amount every 2 to 3 weeks for a steady supply of baby greens and tender leaves.
• Spacing: Thin plants to 6 to 8 inches for larger leaves and fuller growth, or leave them closer together for young salad greens.
• Watering: Keep the shallow root zone consistently moist, watering gently at the soil line to avoid disturbing seeds and seedlings.
• Fertilizing: Work compost into the bed before planting, then use a balanced or nitrogen-supporting fertilizer as directed to encourage lush leaf growth.
• Temperature: Lettuce grows best in cool conditions around 60 to 70°F. Provide shade cloth or harvest promptly when temperatures rise above 80°F.
• Pest Protection: Monitor for slugs, snails, and chewing insects. Clean mulch and a simple row cover can help protect young plants.
• Harvesting: Begin cutting baby greens at about 30 days. Harvest outer leaves in the morning for crispness, or wait about 45 to 60 days for more mature leaves and heads.
