Overview

Lettuce is a cool weather crop. The essential base for most fresh salads, lettuce comes in a range of greens and reds, as well as different head types that offer contrasting leaf shapes and textures between tender and crispy-crunchy. Lettuce contains substantial amounts of vitamins A, C, and B6, as well as thiamin, riboflavin, calcium, and other minerals.

Conditions

For soil, use a fertile well-draining potting mix that’s tailored for vegetables. Lettuce thrives in cooler growing temperatures between 60–65°F, so it is best grown in the early spring or after the summer heat has passed. For the best quality leaves, provide full sun (6 or more hours of direct sunlight) without excessive heat.

Planting

Use our grow calendar tool to find specific dates for your region! Seeds germinate in 5-10 days.

Plant seeds every 3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh lettuce. 

All of our lettuce varieties are recommended for planting directly outdoors in the garden once the soil is warm enough to be worked. Plant 6 seeds per foot, in rows 12-18" apart. Cover seed lightly, about 1/8", and firm soil gently. Thin to one plant every 8-12" for full-size heads. 

For larger head varieties, seeds can be started indoors in small containers or cell trays approximately 4 weeks before the desired transplant date. Transition outside (harden) for 3-5 days before outdoor transplant. Space 8-12” apart for full-sized heads.

For salad mixes or baby leaf growth, plant seeds in dense 2-4” bands, approximately 60 seeds per foot. 

Pests and Disease

Downy Mildew is one of the most serious diseases of lettuce, especially in late summer plantings. Disease pressure for this and other lettuce diseases may be mitigated by increasing row spacing, orienting rows for optimum air flow, using drip irrigation, and practicing crop rotations. Lettuce Mosaic Virus (LMV) is transmitted by many species of aphids. Encourage beneficial insect activity by planting “barrier plants” such as alyssum, chives, or garlic nearby to suppress aphid populations. Provide adequate Calcium and avoid excessive Nitrogen and Phosphorus to prevent tipburn.

Harvest

Cut lettuce heads at the base when they reach full size. If left to grow for too long they will start to elongate and go to seed, which turns them bitter. Wash in cold water and store in the refrigerator to crisp up. 

Loose leaf types can be harvested gradually by pulling off a few outer leaves at a time, leaving the central heart to continue growing to maturity.

Baby leaf varieties can be harvested starting from 3 weeks after planting. Clip leaves carefully, and keep roots in-ground as new leaves will grow from cut stems. Harvest as needed and use quickly for best taste and texture. 

Have your harvested lettuce leaves wilted? Put the leaves in a bowl of cold water with ice cubes and soak for about 15 minutes for them to rehydrate.

soft, cozy, lightweight. Drapes nicely or folds flat & even. Warm as liner to another blanket
Color: Orange, Size: Twin(60"x80"), Color: Orange, Size: Twin(60"x80")
Summer weight, soft feel, cozy. If using in cooler temps, then consider using it as a liner, then toss another blanket on top. Nice cozy way to trap in heat. I love orange and was looking for a functional throw blanket. I didnt want the typical lap blanket size (50"x60"). I am tall and wanted something I can tuck my feet under and pull up to my chest when on the couch. But I also wanted it to be decorative when not in use. Not wanting a thick blanket for this purpose, I looked for a thin one of this style. It folds small and flat, OR drapes nicely when tossed. Even at twin size (60"x 80"), it still works as a "throw" blanket. It measures a little wider and aittle shorter so not perfect twin length. It is thin, but not see through. Very soft. Haven't washed it yet, so hopefully it holds up. ALSO, we have cats and dogs, so I am always looking at something to see if it can also be used for them. Depending on size, these blankets would make good furniture covers. Nicer than sheets, cheaper than pet products, thin enough to toss in washer, and a material that will stay in place on fabric furniture. Or just a blankey for pets that like to get cozy. WHICH, at the time of my writing this, my recent rescue dog from the south is experiencing the cool fall temps of fall. She is snuggled up tight against me. I have this blanket as the base on me and the couch, and then a thicker fleece blanket on top of me and her. I just took a pic and will include it.

Comfortable, durable and great for everyday use
Color: Brown, Size: Queen(90"x90")
This blanket is super cozy and soft, and it’s true to size. I got the brown color, and the quality is excellent. I’ve washed it multiple times, and it comes out looking like new every time. It’s on the thinner side but still keeps you warm—perfect for lounging on the couch or sitting by the fire. The fabric stretches a bit, but not in a way that would cause it to rip or break. Pros: Soft and cozy True to size Maintains quality after washing Lightweight yet warm Slight stretch without damage Cons: Thin, may not be sufficient for very cold nights Conclusion: Overall, this blanket is comfortable, durable, and great for everyday use. It’s ideal for relaxing at home while staying warm.

Nice Lightweight Blanket
Color: Light Camel, Size: King(108"x90")
I bought this because my winter blanket is too heavy for the summer. I'm a hot sleeper and have to have the temperature at 68 at night because the bedroom is upstairs above a garage and it gets warm. This blanket is very soft and not thick and I don't get hot. I have a queen size bed but I bought a king size so it looks more like a bedspread. It doesn't hang down far on one side but that is the side that people don't see so that's fine. If you like a blanket on the thinner side yet still warm enough, you will like this.

Bright color & true to size
Color: Red, Size: Twin(60"x80")
I ordered red. Color was vibrant although it has a touch of Orange - not the deep red I thought I would get. Funky chemical smell when I opened it - it went away after I spread it out for a few hours. It's soft with hemmed edges. A little thin but OK for the bed I ordered it for. Price was right & I would probably order additional colors if warranted in the future. It arrived quick.
