Lettuce plants don't like warmer weather, and as a result will typically \"bolt\" quickly or have a bitter taste when grown in the hottest months of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart seeds in your greenhouse or seed starting room 3-4 weeks before your intended in-ground planting date. Once the lettuce seedlings have an established root ball and can be easily pulled from their cells\/containers, they're ready to transplant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor smaller, compact heads of lettuce, place transplants 6-8\" apart in your garden. For larger heads of lettuce, place transplants 10-12\" apart. Lettuce works great when planted on double or triple rows to maximize space in your garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• How to Fertilize Lettuce\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's always a good idea to apply some pre-plant fertilizer to the soil prior to planting lettuce. We like to sprinkle a balanced, pre-plant fertilizer our raised beds or along our rows prior to planting. This ensures the plants have the right nutrients to put down roots in their new soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause lettuce is such a fast growing crop, often times the pre-plant fertilizer is all it needs to form a nice head of lettuce.

We prefer to wait and harvest the entire head at once, but many gardeners will choose to only pluck a few leaves as they need them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Lazy Dog Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55942128205992,"sku":"LDF0245","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/2897\/2456\/files\/pomegranate-crunch-lettuce-seed-1080x1080_886da727-1baa-4bd7-9658-0832e08ff225.png?v=1788379132","url":"https:\/\/lazydogfarm.com\/products\/pomagranate-crunch-lettuce-seed","provider":"Lazy Dog Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
