Planting Instructions:

• Sowing: Plant seeds directly into well-drained soil in early spring or late summer. Sow seeds thinly, 1/4 inch deep, and space them 6 inches apart in rows or in a container.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Lettuce prefers regular, even watering to prevent bitterness and bolting.
• Thinning: Once the seedlings have grown a few inches tall, thin them to allow proper spacing between plants. Use the thinned seedlings for salads or as microgreens.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced fertilizer or compost to the soil before planting and side-dress with additional compost throughout the growing season.
• Harvesting: Harvest individual leaves when they reach the desired size, or cut the entire head at the base when it forms a tight, compact shape. Enjoy fresh in salads or sandwiches.
