Sow Green Salad Bowl Lettuce seeds directly in the garden as early as the soil can be made fine and loose. You can plant seeds every 2", covering firmly with soil. Thin lettuce 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: Sow Green Salad Bowl Lettuce seeds roughly 6" 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.
