How to Sow
- Can be sowed indoors all year round, or outdoors during the warmer months
- Take a pinch of seeds and sprinkle thinly into each pot or cell
- Cover the seeds with 0.5cm of compost, pat down and gently water
- For outdoor direct sowing, make drills approx 1cm deep, spaced approx 6 inches apart
Plant Care
- When the seedling emerge, thin them out so that the remaining plants are at least 1 inch apart
- Lettuce thrives in partial shade, so be careful during the summer months, and take care to water them as needed to avoid wilting
AllotMe’s Tips
- Watch out for slugs! You can help to deter them by making a slug trap: Submerege a half cup of (cheap) beer in your soil to lure them away from your greens!
- For really shady areas, lettuce still works great, but try the loose leaf varities instead
