Sowing and Growing:

Direct sow or start indoors and transplant. Sow seeds 1/4" deep, or on the surface of the soil where the soil can be kept evenly moist. Space for the heading lettuce is 12" apart. Space for the looseleaf lettuce is 8-10" apart. Space rows for all types 18-36" apart. Babyleaf lettuce can be planted quite densely, as it is harvested at an immature size. Sowing babyleaf lettuce seeds closely together in narrow rows makes harvesting simpler.

Harvesting:

Pick individual leaves or wait and harvest full heads. Mature summer lettuce stays in prime eating condition only a short time, so harvest promptly and keep planting. In fall and winter the plants stay in good harvest condition longer.

Pests and Disease:

Susceptible to aphids, earwigs, cutworms, and white mold. Resistant to tipburn and mosaic virus. Lettuce that is crowded while growing will have a bitter taste.
