LETTUCE
HEAD LETTUCE: Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Use Jiffy 7's or flat with
inserts with a good soil substitute, like Berger BM-2. Place seeds not over 1/4" deep. Germinate at room
temperature. Head lettuce seeds may also be sown outdoors like leaf lettuce. For nice big heads, when
transplanting, space plants 6-8" apart. To harvest, cut head of lettuce off after they form, just above roots. Use
fresh. LEAF TYPES: Plant in early spring as soon as soil can be tilled. Place seeds 1/4" deep, 1" apart. For a
constant supply, sow lettuce every 2 weeks for as long as weather stays cool. To harvest, cut leaf lettuce, 1-2"
above ground. Use fresh in salads, wilted lettuce or in sandwiches.
For leaf or head lettuce, you will need 1/2 oz seed per 100' row or 30,000 plants per acre if transplanted or
1 pound of seed if direct seeded. PKT size: Green Ice, Simpson Elite & Summertime 1/8 oz. Rest 1/4 oz.
