Tips for Growing Lettuce

Choose a variety of lettuce suitable for your climate and growing conditions, whether it’s leaf lettuce, romaine, or head lettuce. Plant lettuce in well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter. Water consistently to keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. Apply a balanced fertilizer every few weeks to promote healthy growth. Protect lettuce from extreme heat by providing shade or planting in a cooler location. Harvest lettuce leaves when they reach the desired size, starting with outer leaves for a continuous harvest throughout the growing season!
