Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Grow in full sun during cool weather. In hot climates, provide afternoon shade to help protect leaf quality.
• Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost and organic matter.
• Starting Seeds: Sow pelleted seeds about 1/4 inch deep, or start indoors and transplant carefully once seedlings are established.
• Spacing: Space plants about 10–12 inches apart, with rows 12–18 inches apart, to allow full-size heads to develop and improve airflow.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Uneven moisture can stress lettuce and affect flavor.
• Fertilizing: Feed with compost or a balanced fertilizer at planting, then fertilize moderately as plants develop. Avoid excessive nitrogen.
• Harvest: Cut full heads at the base when they reach the size you prefer, or harvest outer leaves and allow the center to continue growing.
