Sow directly into the ground or in a warm bed as soon as the soil can be worked. Use rich, well-drained soil, adding regular nitrogen in the form of compost or rotted manure to encourage vigorous growth. Space rows 16 to 18 inches apart and plants 8 to 10 inches apart. Mulch the soil to maintain moisture and reduce weeds. Boston lettuce prefers full sun and consistent moisture. Harvest when it forms a firm head, early in the morning, to ensure freshness and flavor.
This robust and tasty variety is perfect for gardeners looking for an easy and productive crop while enjoying a delicious lettuce harvest early in the season.
