- Sow thinly at regular intervals, 12mm deep in drills 38cm (15in) apart.
- Thin seedlings to 30cm (12in) apart when large enough to handle. Water well during dry periods.
- Water lettuce frequently and hoe between plants regularly to prevent weeds from establishing. Dry weather may cause heads of lettuce plants to bolt so watering is particularly critical during the 2 weeks before harvesting. A thick mulch applied around the plants will help to retain moisture in the soil. Harvest lettuce when required by pulling up the entire plant before trimming off the stem with a knife.
- Number of Seeds: 200
