Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Lettuce is a cool-season crop. Sow seeds as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. For a continuous harvest, sow a new batch of seeds every 2 weeks until the heat of mid-summer. Sow again in late summer for a fall crop.
2. Preparation: Lettuce prefers loose, well-drained soil rich in nitrogen. Work in a little compost before planting. Lettuce seeds are very small and need light to germinate, so do not bury them too deeply.
3. Sowing: Sow seeds very thinly on the soil surface and lightly dust with 1/8 inch of fine soil or vermiculite. Space rows 12 inches apart. Keep the soil surface moist with a fine mist until the sprouts appear.
4. Thinning and Care: Once seedlings are 2 inches tall, thin them to 6-10 inches apart. Lettuce has a shallow root system and requires frequent, light watering to keep the leaves crisp and prevent wilting. Mulching can help keep the roots cool as the weather warms.
5. Pests and Diseases: Slugs and snails are the most common lettuce lovers. Use organic barriers or traps if they become a problem. To prevent bitterness and tip-burn, ensure the plants have adequate moisture and consider providing afternoon shade during the hottest part of the summer.
