Sow Salad Bowl Organic Lettuce seeds directly in the garden as early as the soil can be made fine and loose. Plant seeds every 2", covering firmly with soil. Thin plants to 6" apart when they display 2 or 3 leaves. As plants begin to crowd, pick individual leaves regularly for use.
Planting Depth: .25"
Seed Spacing: Plant your Salad Bowl Organic Lettuce seeds roughly 6" apart in rows, keeping rows approximately 18" apart.
Lettuce needs plenty of moisture. Also, fall crops may have to be started indoors since lettuce has a difficult time even germinating in hot weather. Transplant with care.
