Gardener Tips
Will grow into the space that is provided, give space if possible. Best grown in cooler weather or shade. If sowing indoors, harden off before planting.
Hardening off is a process that requires taking seedlings outside during the day, for a period of time, before they are transplanted into the ground. This acclimates your seedlings to the outside world, meaning the elements like the wind and sun. We do it for several weeks to a month as this strengthens their stems and overall plant structure.
- Start for a short period of time initially, then graduate to more time each day
- One week minimum is recommended
- Bring them inside in the early evening and overnight
- Keep an eye on them and keep them moist. Make sure they have not blown over.
Mulch at base of plants. Read our blog post on The Power of Mulching
Each packet of seeds contains a generous amount of seeds, so you can plant in succession! For a continuous harvest, make successive plantings every 10-14 days.

Harvesting Tips
Harvest lettuce in the early morning before the heat of the day or in the late afternoon. Heat causes plant stress and chemical changes triggered by heat, sunlight, and water loss cause the bitterness.
Soak the harvested leaves in cool water for 15–30 minutes to rehydrate and reduce bitterness slightly. Store them in the refrigerator immediately to lock in freshness and texture.
