Planting Tips for Success

• Choose the Right Season: Sow for spring or fall harvests, following local planting calendars for the best timing.
• Provide Sunlight: Grow in a sunny location with good airflow. In hot conditions, afternoon protection can help keep leaves tender and reduce stress.
• Prepare the Soil: Use fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter, and keep the seedbed free of weeds.
• Plant Carefully: Place pelleted seeds at the depth recommended on the packet, then cover lightly and avoid burying them too deeply.
• Space for Heads: Thin or transplant seedlings so the tall romaine heads have room to develop and airflow can reach the foliage.
• Keep Moisture Even: Water consistently so the soil stays evenly moist but not waterlogged, especially while seedlings are establishing.
• Feed as Needed: Start with fertile soil and apply a balanced vegetable fertilizer according to label directions when plants need additional nutrition.
• Harvest on Time: Cut heads when the leaves are crisp, dark green, and well developed, before quality declines with extended heat.
