Description
Features
- Lettuce is so easy to grow it can be started indoors for early transplants
- or sown directly in the garden. In fact, doing both is recommended to get
- maximum production. Start some lettuce seeds indoors in peat pots a
- few weeks before the last frost date in your area. Provide the seedlings
- with plenty of sunlight or keep them under artificial lighting until ready
- to move into the garden. Transplant the seedlings as soon as the soil
- can be worked in the spring. If a hard freeze threatens, protect the
- seedlings with a cloche or row cover. Reserve a number of
- lettuce seedlings to fill empty spaces in the garden as the season progresses.
- To sow lettuce directly in the garden, simply plant the seeds about 1/4 inch
- deep, tamp them down, and water. Lettuce is ideal for succession planting.
- Sow seeds every two weeks for production throughout the season, starting
- with early lettuce varieties, using heat-tolerant varieties as your main crop,
- and then switching to fall crops late in the summer.
