Growing Lettuce - Greens

When to Plant Lettuce - Early crop in Zone 4, can be planted as soon as you can get in the garden.

How to Plant Lettuce - Plant seeds ½ inch deep.  Sow thin. 

After Planting Lettuce - You can thin when plants get 3-4 inches tall.  To thin, just pull out some plants. 

Harvesting Lettuce - I do not cut my lettuce when I harvest.  I pull it, and then cut the roots off.  Bring a pail of cold water to your garden if you can.  Dunk the lettuce as you pull, to keep it crisp.  If you can't bring cold water to your garden, just put it in cold water when you get in the house.  It will crisp up.  Use in fresh salads.
