Lettuce

Soil: Like light, loose, well drained, moist soil high in organic matter.
Planting Time: Plant seeds 2 weeks before last frost, until 8 weeks before first frost.
Spacing: Plant about an inch apart and thin and eat until 6 inches apart.
Problems: Slugs - Can be gotten rid of with Diatomaceous Earth or I just sprinkle with salt on them and they dissolve.
Harvest: Anytime when they're young. Plants get a little bitter and course with age. I pick a few leaves when ever I need it. I pick the smaller more tender leaves first.
Pollination: Not Required
Seed Information: 20,000 seeds/ounce.
Watering: Lettuce enjoys lots of watering. A good layer of mulch will help maintain evenness in soil moisture.
Fertilizing: Lettuce benefits from higher Nitrogen fertilizers.
