Cultivation method:
Sow organic romaine lettuce seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked, or start indoors 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost. Plant 1/4 inch deep, spacing rows 8 to 12 inches apart. This lettuce prefers rich, well-drained soil, with full sun to partial shade.
Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture, which promotes tender texture and delicate flavor. Thin young plants to about 6 inches (15 cm) to allow for optimal growth. Harvest lettuce when it reaches maturity, about 55 to 75 days after sowing, or pick outer leaves as needed to prolong production.
With its easy and organic cultivation, organic romaine lettuce is an excellent choice to enrich your vegetable garden with fresh and healthy vegetables while contributing to a natural and nutritious diet.
