Outstanding Features: You can plant lettuce every two weeks or so from spring until fall to have a continuous supply of fresh salad. Keep soil moist and fertilized.
Tips: Harvest as soon as the lettuce is 2 to 6 inches long. You can harvest the outer leaves and leave the inner leaves to mature or cut the whole plant back and let it flush out again.
