Growing Lettuce

  • During the mild weather of early spring and fall, consider planting lettuce. This highly nutritious leafy green is a superb option for in-ground gardening, raised garden beds, and containers.
  • When planting space lettuce, make sure to keep a distance of 6 to 18 inches between each plant, considering the variation in size across different varieties. It is important to select an area that receives plenty of sunlight and has fertile, well-drained soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0.
  • Boost the fertility of the existing soil by incorporating several inches of aged compost or other nourishing organic matter.
  • Consistently maintain moisture levels to ensure well-hydrated lettuce with tender leaves. Water the soil whenever the top inch becomes dry. Remember to follow the merchant's instructions regarding watering.
  • Promote weed suppression and prolong the longevity of your watering by evenly distributing a substantial layer of finely ground leaf or bark mulch.
  • Begin harvesting leaf lettuce by plucking the outermost leaves when they have reached a suitable size for consumption.
