Specifications of Lettuce Green Seeds

Well-suited to grow bags, containers, and small garden beds
Continuous harvest through regular leaf-cutting
Planting and Care for Lettuce
Sowing: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in well-drained soil or grow bags. Keep soil consistently moist during germination, as seeds are small and shallow-sown.
Growing: Water regularly with light, frequent watering. Provide partial shade in warmer conditions to prevent the plant from bolting (flowering) prematurely.
Harvesting: Begin harvesting outer leaves 30-45 days after sowing, allowing the center to continue producing new growth — this cut-and-come-again method extends the harvest period.
Precautions While Growing Lettuce
Sow within the cool season window, as warm temperatures cause bolting and bitter-tasting leaves
Water consistently, as inconsistent moisture can lead to bitter flavor
Watch for aphids and slugs; use organic pest control methods where needed
Harvest regularly to maintain tender, mild-flavored leaves
