SEED FACTS

GROWING TIPS

Plant seeds directly into the garden starting 4 weeks before average last frost date or as soon as the soil can be worked. You can also start seeds indoors 2-4 weeks before transplanting. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 50-70 degrees. Lettuce seed does not germinate well if soil temperature is above 80 degrees. Resume planting in late summer for a fall harvest. Lettuce is cold tolerant and will tolerate light to moderate frosts. Succession plantings every at 2 weeks intervals will provide a steady supply.

This is the 1st time that I have planted lettuce from seed in my garden. I could not be more happy with the Black Seeded Simpson. Not only is the lettuce growing great, it is great tasting. Every Monday morning, I cut enough lettuce to last me until the weekend. I will be buying more next year
