Directions: Iceberg lettuce seeds can be sowed directly into the garden, or started indoors.
Sow a few lettuce seeds 1/4" deep in soil or 1-2 seeds in starter cell of a seed tray. Cover very lightly with a fine starter soil. Keep soil in the seed tray moist. In about 7-10 days, the seedlings will sprout. Thin seedlings to one plant per cell.
Transplant into the garden after all danger of frost has past. Ideally, transplant them on a cool or cloudy day. Water well after transplanting. Space plants 12" apart in rows 18" apart. The soil should be rich and fertile, and well draining. Keep the soil moist. The plants respond well to regular applications of liquid fertilizer.
For a fall crop, an indoor start is best. Lettuce seeds do not germinate well in the hot soil of mid-summer.
