Comments: Lettuce is a cool weather crop you can plant in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. You can also plant in late summer for a fall crop. In zone 8 or warmer, sow in early fall for winter crop. Plant lettuce in a light, sandy, rich, fertile soil that is neutral and well drained. Sow the seed in row 12 – 18 inches apart, making sure the seed is not covered (needs light to germinate). Space leaf type lettuce 4-6 inches and head type 10-12 inches apart. Seeds may also be started indoors 4 weeks before planting outside. Do not cover seed and maintain temperature in medium of 65-70 degrees. Germination takes 7-10 days. Successive plantings can be done as long as the temperature is below 80 degrees. Fertilize with a basic garden fertilizer prior to planting and again every 3 weeks after planting. Cultivate shallowly. If transplanting, harden off a least 7 days before setting out to avoid transplant shock. Plants do best if keep consistently moist. Harvest leaf lettuce when leaves are young and tender. Head lettuce is harvested after heads are formed.

requested by friends and family

I have been planting this blend with "Gurney's MESCLUN, tangy mix" and "Gurney's SPINACH, Medania" in a bed. The salad that is picked changes throughout the season because of the different maturity and boulting times. Every spring when my coworkers see me having salads for lunch they want to know when I will be bringing in the excess production for their consumption. It's fun to watch them bag their bounty before others arrive at the office (I hold a little back or bag the next picking for the late arrivals).

This Lettuce Blend is fantastic this year. I can't wait to put in a second fall crop. It is sweet, and crisp.

Easy Peasy

Easy as it gets. Lettuce was cuttable within a few weeks and is still growing. Lots of different kinds. No needs to buy anything else.
