Lettuce - Buttercrunch Seeds
Lettuce seeds can be sown directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked, typically 2-4 weeks before your last frost date. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks throughout the growing season. Lettuce can also be started indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost for an early crop.
Scatter seeds thinly or plant them 1/4 inch (5 mm) deep in rows. Keep the soil consistently moist to promote germination, which usually occurs within 7-10 days. Thin seedlings to 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) apart, depending on the variety.
Lettuce thrives in full sun but prefers partial shade in warmer temperatures to prevent bolting. Provide regular watering to keep the leaves tender and sweet. Harvest leaves as needed by cutting them at the base, or remove entire heads for larger harvests. Continuous harvesting encourages regrowth for many loose-leaf varieties.
