LETTUCE
Lettuce really struggles to germinate at temperatures over 24°C as it goes
dormant. If sowing in summer, choose an appropriate position to avoid these
high temperatures.
When to Sow ~ Spring, Summer & Autumn.
Where to Grow ~ Lettuce prefer cooler conditions, grow in a well-drained
site, part sun, part shade if possible.
How to Sow ~ Sow in garden or trays for subsequent transplanting after
frosts have ended. Spread seeds thinly in rows and cover to a depth of
omm. Seedlings should emerge after 7-10 days. Keep seedbed evenly :
moist during germination.
Care ~ Once your seedling has 3 or more leaves, transplant until big
enough to plant out. Garden spacing should be approximately 30cm. If
you have sown seed directly into the garden, thinnings can be transplanted
to another spot. Lettuce prefer cooler temperatures of around 16-22°C, but
warmer conditions can be tolerated with a steady moisture supply.
