Cultivation method:
Lettuce is a cool season crop that prefers moderate sunlight and well-drained, organic soil. Sow seeds as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, then repeat every two weeks to ensure a continuous supply throughout the season. Plant 1/8" (3 mm) deep in rows 18" (45 cm) apart.
Regular and uniform watering is essential for optimum growth. Harvest lettuce by pulling the entire plant or cutting the leaves at least 2.5 cm (1") from the base, allowing the plant to regrow. Be sure to harvest before the lettuce bolts, as the leaves become bitter.
