    Growing Lettuce from Seed

  • Lettuce grows best in cool weather in the spring and fall, but it can be grown in the summer, and all winter long in milder regions.
  • Sow short rows every 2-3 weeks following the last average frost date for a continual harvest.
  • Using a cloche, cold frame, or greenhouse over mid-late summer plantings can extend the harvest period right into winter.
  • Optimal soil temperature for germination: 10-22°C (50-72°F). Seeds should sprout in 7-15 days, depending on conditions. Lettuce seeds don't sprout easily when the soil temperature is over 22°C (72°F) in summer.


    Companion Planting For Lettuce

  • Lettuce plants make good companions for beets, Brassicas, carrot, celery, chervil, cucumbers, dill, garlic, onions, radish, spinach, squash, and strawberries.
