About Lettuce Great Lakes
Lettuce greens are so easy to grow, so nutritious, and so delicious picked fresh from the garden, that everyone should grow them. Grow lettuce in the vegetable garden, tuck it into flowerbeds, or cultivate it in containers.
With regular watering, shade from hot sun, and succession planting, you can enjoy home grown lettuce almost year-round in much of the country. From baby leaf lettuce to big, crisp heads, lettuce is easy to grow in spring and fall, when the soil is cool. Leaf colour and texture vary with variety. All types of lettuce grow best when the soil is kept constantly moist, and outside temperatures range between 45 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit.

Harvest Season |
· Lettuce should be harvested when full size, but just before maturity. You want it young and tender. · Before maturity, you can harvest leaf lettuce by simply removing outer leaves so that the center leaves can continue to grow. A second harvest is often possible this way. Crisphead lettuce is picked when the center is firm. · Mature lettuce gets bitter and woody and it will go bad quickly, so check your garden everyday. · As time passes, you will want to cut the whole plant from the ground. · It is the best to harvest in the morning before leaves have been exposed to sun. |
