Growing Blonde de Paris Lettuce

• For an early start, Lettuce Seeds can be started in flats 4 weeks prior to the last frost and transplanted outdoors in mid to late spring.
• Sow seed 1/8 inch deep, 1 inch apart in rows 12 to 18 inches apart.
• When plants have two or three true leaves, thin to 12-inch spacings for crisphead varieties, 6 to 10 inches for other types.
• You can also lightly broadcast seed (particularly of looseleaf varieties) in a patch instead of a row.
• Lettuce has a shallow root system. Keep soil moist to keep plants growing continuously. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Lettuce is tolerant of a wide range of soils, but prefers well-drained, cool, loose soil with plentiful moisture and pH 6.2 to 6.8.
