Lettuce Misticanza Care

  • Before you plant your lettuce seeds, make sure the soil is prepared
  • It should be loose and drain well so it’s moist without staying soggy
  • To keep the soil fertile, feed it with organic matter about one week before you seed or transplant
  • Since the seed is so small, a well-tilled seedbed is essential
  • Large clods will reduce germination
  • Direct sowing is recommended as soon as the ground can be worked
  • Plant seeds ½ inch deep
  • Snow won’t hurt them, but a desiccating cold wind will
  • If you want an earlier crop, however, you may start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before last spring frost date for an earlier crop
  • Harden off seedlings for about one week, and transplant outside between 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after last spring frost
  • Seed may be sown in single rows or broadcast for wide row planting
  • When broadcasting, you’ll need to “thin” for the proper spacing

Fertilizer

Leaf lettuce needs nitrogen to grow tender, new leaves quickly, so fertilize throughout the growing season with Bonnie Herb, Vegetable & Flower Plant Food.

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. Butterhead or romaine types can be harvested by removing the outer leaves, digging up the whole plant or cutting the plant about an inch above the soil surface. 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’s best to harvest in the morning before leaves have been exposed to sun.

·  Keep lettuce in the refrigerator for up to 10 days in a loose plastic bag.

Lettuce Misticanza Special Feature

·  A very good diuretic.

·  Lettuce to remove flatulence.
