SOWING:  Lettuce is hardy and can be planted as soon as the soil can be worked.  Can be direct seeded, 3 seeds every 8 inches in rows 6-8 inches apart, as  early as the soil can be worked or grown indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting outdoors.  Cover seed lightly with about 1/8 inch of fine soil, and firm soil gently.

THIN young seedlings to one plant per spot.

TIPS & SUGGESTIONS: Sow every 3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh lettuce. Seeds germinate even at low 40-degree F soil temperature, but poorly above 75-85-degree F. In dry weather, keep soil moist.
