Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Planting Time: Sow seeds in early spring for a cool-season crop, or in late summer for a fall harvest.
- Temperature: Best grown in temperatures between 55°F–75°F (13°C–24°C), with a preference for cooler weather.
Planting Details
- Seed Depth: Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in loose, well-drained soil.
- Spacing: Space seeds about 6–8 inches apart in rows 12–18 inches apart for optimal growth.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers fertile, well-drained, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Incorporating organic matter such as compost will enhance soil fertility.
- Sunlight: Thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially during warmer months.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Water consistently to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Lettuce generally requires about 1 inch of water per week.
- Water deeply to encourage strong root development, and avoid wetting the foliage to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
Fertilization
- Apply a balanced organic fertilizer at planting to promote healthy growth.
- A second application of fertilizer, or compost, can be added when plants are about 4–6 inches tall for continued leaf production.
Weeding and Mulching
- Regularly remove weeds around the plants to prevent competition for nutrients and water.
- Mulch around the plants to help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weed growth.
Pest and Disease Control
- Pests: Keep an eye out for pests such as aphids, slugs, and snails. Use organic methods such as neem oil or diatomaceous earth to control them.
- Diseases: Lettuce can be prone to fungal diseases like downy mildew, so ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering to minimize disease risks.
Harvesting
- Maturity: The Gourmet Salad Blend Lettuce is typically ready for harvest in 45–60 days, depending on growing conditions.
- Size: Harvest when leaves are large enough to eat, typically when plants reach 4–8 inches in height.
- Method: Harvest outer leaves first, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing for a continuous supply. If harvesting full heads, wait until they reach full maturity, usually at 12 inches.
Storage
- Short-Term: Store harvested lettuce in the refrigerator in a perforated plastic bag or container for up to a week.
- Long-Term: Lettuce can be frozen, but its texture may change. It is best used in cooked dishes after freezing.
Culinary Uses
- Salads: Ideal for fresh, gourmet salads, providing a variety of textures and flavors in every bite.
- Sandwiches and Wraps: Add a crunchy, refreshing layer to sandwiches, wraps, and tacos.
- Garnishes: Use the tender leaves as a garnish for soups, stews, and roasted vegetables.
- Smoothies: Blend the greens into smoothies for an added nutritional boost.
