Application

• Start seeds indoors for later transplanting or sow directly into well-prepared, fertile soil.
• Provide adequate spacing between plants (typically 12-18 inches) to allow for proper head development.
• Maintain consistent soil moisture throughout the growing season, avoiding both drought stress and waterlogging.
• Apply balanced fertilizer before planting and supplement with side-dressings as needed during growth.
• Harvest heads when fully matured and firm, usually 60-70 days after planting, depending on growing conditions.

Storage

• Immediately after harvest, cool lettuce heads to preserve crispness and flavor.
• Store heads in the refrigerator at temperatures just above freezing in high humidity conditions to extend shelf life.
• Use perforated plastic bags or containers to maintain freshness and prevent moisture buildup.
• Consume lettuce promptly for optimal taste and texture, as it tends to lose crispness over time.
