• Direct sow after all risk of frost has passed 
• OR start seeds indoors 2 to 3 weeks prior to last frost; transplant out when seedlings are strong enough to handle and risk of frost has passed. Most leaf varieties reach maturity in 35 to 50 days

• Plants 12 in apart; rows should be 12 to 18 in apart at most or broadcast seeds in small areas with no formal rows
• harvest outer leaves as needed

• Full sun if not too hot; keep soil moist as too much heat and not enough water makes lettuce bolt
