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.

fresh salad is well worth the work
Reviewed By: Julia Lichty (Blairstown, NJ)
Every single variety from this blend was delicious and beautiful. It seems that the seeds are a little light on the Red Sails (my favorite of the four), though. I did have some problems with rot from the underside, but that may have been a result of an exceptionally cool and wet early summer.

My Pet Rabbit was in HEAVEN!
Reviewed By: Kristin (Hammond, IN)
I planted these in a container that was about 30" long by 8 inches wide and the seeds started growing so fast and the lettuce just kept coming and coming and in fact is STILL coming and the container has been outside. Every morning all summer I picked handfuls to give to my pet rabbit who LOVED it, I had some too on hamburgers and it tasted great. I am going to have to plant some indoors so my bunny who is now spoiled won't get mad that his lettuce patch is gone.

Reviewed By: Margie (Gibsonia, Pa)
We tried lettuce blend this past year and it was superb! Spring and thru most of the summer, we ate it in salads and on sandwiches. I plan on buying twice as much this spring and highly recommended it to all my friends.
