Planting Instructions
- Direct sow in early spring or late summer, or start indoors 3–4 weeks before transplanting.
- Sow very shallowly, about 1/8 inch deep, because lettuce seed benefits from light.
- Thin to 8–12 inches apart for full heads, or closer for baby leaves.
- Keep soil evenly moist and provide afternoon shade as weather warms.
- Harvest before heat causes bolting or bitter leaves.
Important: Lettuce germination can decline in hot soil. For warm-season sowing, use a cooler location and protect young plants from intense afternoon heat.
