Lettuce
(Lactuca sativa) An Old World crop, appreciated
since ancient times, that requires cooler
temperatures
to grow really well. Sow in place in the garden
as early in spring as soil may be worked—
seeds sprout and grow whenever mild weather
predominates. Or start indoors and set out acclimated
seedlings 2-4 weeks before last frost date.
Succession plant lettuce for a continual crop, but
avoid long days and heat of early-mid summer.
May be grown right through the winter where the
weather is mild, or under row cover, cold frames,
etc. Lettuce is healthy and rich in Vitamins A & C.
