When to Sow:

Sow after danger of frost. 

Days to maturity are from direct seeding in spring conditions, subtract 10-14 days if transplanting, subtract 7-10 days if planting in summer conditions, add 20 days if planting late summer-fall.  Lettuce may be  grown throughout the summer. Choose varieties which are heat tolerant. Begin transplants 3-4 weeks before setting outside.

 

Sowing in Flats:

Sow seeds 4 per inch in flats cover with fine soil.  Transplant after 2 weeks later into pots, or into another flat at 1-2” apart. Sow every 3 weeks into fall for a continuous harvest.

 

Harvest:

Cut lettuce holds best when harvested in the morning and cooled rapidly.  For salad mix or baby leaf production, harvest individual leaves when they reach desired size, or cut evenly across the bed making sure to stay above the growing tip.  For a continuous harvest, sow lettuce every 3 weeks.

Lettuce is cool season annual in the Compositae family, which includes endive, escarole, chicory, globe artichoke, sunflower, Jerusalem artichoke, salsify, and burdock. This is a blend of lettuce and mustard greens, with diversity, flavor and color.
