Growing Instructions (USDA Zones 3-9):
Lettuce is hardy and can be planted as early as the soil can be worked. It is a cool weather crop and grows best at temperatures of 60-65F. Careful variety selection is important for hot weather plantings. Sow every 3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh lettuce. Lettuce seed can enter thermal dormancy when exposed to high temperatures. Do not use a heat mat when germinating lettuce seed. Optimum germination results at soil temperatures of 6065F.

For direct seeding, seeds germinate at low soil temperatures (40F), but poorly above 75F. Sow seeds 2-3 apart, rows 1218 apart. Cover seed lightly, about 1/8, and firm soil gently. Thin to one plant every 1012. Dry soil must be watered to ensure coolness and moisture, and for uniform germination.

For transplanting, sow 2-3 seeds per cell, 1/4 deep, 3-4 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Do not let soil above 70F while germinating so keep out of the sun and a cool, dark location. Harden seedlings by reducing water and temperature for 23 days before planting outdoors. Properly hardened transplants can survive temperatures as low as 20F. Transplant to 1012 apart, in rows 18 apart.

Watering: Water lettuce once to twice per week or every 4 days whenever rainfall is inadequate.
