Planting Instructions Choose the Right Time: Plant the seeds in early spring or late summer. Avoid hot weather as lettuce prefers cooler temperatures. Prepare the Soil: Choose a sunny spot that receives a few hours of direct sunlight each day. Ensure the soil is loose, well-draining, and free of weeds. Mix in some compost to enrich the soil if it is not very fertile. Sow the Seeds: Sprinkle the seeds lightly on the soil surface, about 1/4 inch apart. If planting in rows, keep each row about 12 to 16 inches apart. Gently press the seeds into the soil but do not bury them deeply; lettuce seeds need light to germinate. Water Gently: Water the area gently using a watering can or a hose set to a light spray to avoid displacing the seeds. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Thin the Seedlings: Once the seedlings are about 2 inches tall, thin them so that they are about 8 inches apart. This gives each plant enough space to grow and prevents overcrowding. Monitor Growth and Care: Continue to keep the soil moist and weed the area regularly. If temperatures start rising, provide some shade to prevent the plants from bolting (going to seed prematurely). Harvesting: Harvest the leaves once they are large enough to use—usually within 45 to 60 days from planting. You can pick individual leaves or harvest the whole plant. Additional Tips Succession Planting: Plant a new batch of seeds every two weeks for a continuous supply throughout the growing season. Pests and Diseases: Watch for common pests like aphids and slugs. Use organic methods like neem oil or diatomaceous earth to control these pests. Mulching: Applying a thin layer of organic mulch can help retain soil moisture and control weeds.
