Cultivation method:
Sow directly into the ground using the tape in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. Prepare loose, well-drained soil and place the tape 1 cm deep. Cover with a thin layer of potting soil, water gently to promote germination, and keep the soil moist. Lettuce prefers a sunny to partial shade exposure.
Space rows 12 to 16 inches apart to allow for good air circulation and optimal plant development. Harvest outer leaves as you grow, or wait until the lettuce is mature for a full harvest. With the ease of use of the tape and consistent harvests, this variety is a must-have for gardeners of all skill levels.
