Lettuce

Lettuce is a moderately good source of vitamin C, calcium, iron and copper.

Choose a site that gets full sun in cool-weather areas, partial sun in warmer climates or for summer plantings. Lettuce responds best in loose well-watered fertile soil. Don’t water very often, as long as the soil stays moist, it will grow wonderful. Feed lettuce every three weeks with quality seaweed extract.

Leaf lettuce may be cut whenever it is large enough to use. Cutting every other plant at ground level gives the remaining plants more space for growth. Head lettuce should be harvested when the heads are firm and fully formed.
