- Plant lettuce during mild waether of early spring or fall in ground, raised beds, or containers
- place plants 6-18" apart depending on variety in fertile well drained soil with pH of 6.0-7.0 (you can improve soil by mixing in aged compost or other organic matter)
- Water when top inch of soil becomes dry
- Finely ground mulch can help detour weed growth
- Prefers to be fertilized with water soluble plant food ( I use Tea Brew).
- Harvest outermost leaves once large enough to eat to promote longer growth of the plant by keeping center intact
