How to grow lettuce

To grow a lettuce, you need a pH balance for the soil in between 6.0 and 6.8. If you are harvesting, you must cut the head 1 inch (2.5cm) away from the soil. Harvesting, takes 80 days after planting the lettuce.

The good time to plant lettuce is 4-6 weeks before the spring frost. Because then the ground will be getting soft enough to plant the seeds inside.
