Lettuce Seeds – Mixed Greens

Lettuce Seeds – Mixed Greens Growing Instructions:

For optimal growth, sow the seeds 1/8 inch deep in fertile, well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Lettuce thrives in cooler weather, making this mix perfect for early spring or late summer planting. Space the seeds 8-12 inches apart to allow adequate room for the lettuce heads to develop.

Tips for Success:

• Sunlight: Ensure the plants receive full sun to partial shade.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering promotes tender and crisp lettuce leaves.
• Temperature: Ideal growing temperatures range from 60-85°F (15-29°C). In warmer climates, consider providing some shade during the hottest part of the day to prevent bolting.

Harvesting:

Harvest the lettuce heads when they reach your desired size, anywhere from 35 to 70 days. For a continuous supply, sow seeds successively every few weeks. Pick the outer leaves first to encourage more growth from the center.

Growing your own gourmet lettuce mix provides fresh, nutritious greens that enhance your meals. The diverse selection of varieties ensures a rich mix of flavors, perfect for salads, sandwiches, and garnishes.

Enjoy the satisfaction of harvesting your own fresh, homegrown lettuce with this delightful gourmet mix. Happy gardening!
