Sowing

Timing: Plant lettuce seeds after the frost danger has passed, when the soil temperature reaches approximately 60°F (15°C).
Soil: Opt for well-draining soil with a pH level between 6.0-7.0, enriched with nutrient-rich compost for optimal growth.
Planting: Sow lettuce seeds about 1 inch deep either directly outdoors or indoors 3-4 weeks before the expected last frost date.
Spacing: Ensure adequate spacing between seeds, approximately 12-24 inches apart within rows, and maintain rows spaced 3-5 feet apart to allow for proper growth and airflow.
Sunlight: Provide your lettuce plants with 6-8 hours of sunlight daily to promote healthy growth and development.
Watering: Maintain consistent moisture levels in the soil by watering regularly, ensuring not to overwater. Mulching can help retain moisture.
Temperature: Aim for daytime temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C) and nighttime temperatures above 60°F (15°C) for optimal growth conditions.
Harvesting: Harvest lettuce leaves in approximately 50-70 days when they reach the desired size, typically 6-8 inches long. Carefully cut the leaves from the plant for consumption.
