SOWING THE SEED
Lettuce seeds can be started indoors, or directly outdoors as well. If started indoors, choose large CowPots, at least 4 inches tall and 4 inches wide. Sow the seeds in groups of 4, at a depth of 1/16" under topsoil, so that they are barely covered. Transplant entire peat pots outdoors, or direct sow when the weather has become mildly warm. Do not sow deeper than the recommended sowing depth mentioned above, as Lettuce will require a bit of direct light to germinate properly.
SITE SPECIFICATIONS
Lettuce will thrive in areas of partial sun, meaning that they should receive about 5 to 6 hours of sunlight a day. Lettuce plants prefer cooler temperatures of 45F to 65F and will flourish in loose, fertile soils, just make sure that the sowing medium is also well drained. To increase your drainage, we recommend adding a light compost to any areas that consist of hard, compact soil. Water the seeds daily to ensure that the ground is moist, but never soaked.
GERMINATION & GROWTH
Lettuce will typically begin to germinate within 7 to 14 days after sowing. The plants will reach a mature height that varies from 5 to 10 inches tall, spreading anywhere between 4 and 12 inches wide. Spacing will be explained in depth on the back of each packet.
