SOWING: Start early indoors or seed directly outdoors from early to mid spring and again in late summer to early fall. Cover with 1/8 inch light soil.
THINNING: Once plants are established thin to 10 to 12 inches apart.
TRANSPLANTING: Seedlings started indoors can be planted outside after danger of severe frost has passed.
SPACING: Leave 18 inches between rows. For bedding in small areas space 10 to 12 inches apart in all directions.
GERMINATION: Approximately one week to ten days. Start seeds in cool 55 to 60 degree temperatures.
Ed’s Special Advice: Keep soil moderately moist. Well fertilized soil produces quickly grown, crisp Romaine lettuce. Sow seed every two weeks March to August for continued harvesting.
SEED SAVING: Allow plant to flower, then collect seed heads as they dry. Store in a cool dry place.
