Plant in early spring or late summer for fall harvests. Romaine lettuce prefers rich, well-drained soil, with exposure to full sun or partial shade.
Water regularly to maintain consistent moisture, and thin plants as needed to optimize growth. Harvest lettuce when it reaches maturity, about 55 to 75 days after sowing, or pick outer leaves as needed.
