Lettuce prefers cool weather. Select a location with full sun, or partial shade in hot areas. Sow in early spring or fall, or in winter in mild climates. Make a shallow trench about 1/8” deep. Place seed tape in trench and cover loosely with soil. Keep soil evenly moist for best growth.
For continuous regrowth, harvest by cutting no more that 1/3 of a single plant’s leaves at one time at soil level.
