| Lettuce
Lettuce presents no particular problem in its culture and thrives on any fertile soil. Succession planting ensures an abundant supply during the entire season. For a very early crop, sow in flats or cold frames about a month before planting outdoors. As soon as the soil is ready, transplant in rows 18 inches apart, spacing the plants 15 inches apart. For later crops, the seed is sown directly in rows and covered a quarter to a half inch deep. Plants develop better if the young plants are thinned to stand 12-15" apart in a row. As plants are thinned they may be set out in another row. Two ounces will sow a 150' row. |
