JosephsGarden's Lettuce, Landrace Care Instructions
If sowing directly, aim to sow 0.49 inches (1.25 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm).
Lettuce normally tends to reach to a mature height of 20.0 cm [imperial: 7.8 inches] so ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant.
Your garden has full sun light - try to position in a partial sun location instead.
Your garden has silty clay loam soil: try to position in a loam soil for the best result.
Remember to water often.
Your garden's USDA Hardiness Zone (5a) is within the ideal range for Lettuce. The recommended range is between Zone 4 and 9.
A soil ph of between 6.2 and 6.8 is ideal for Lettuce as it does best in acidic soil so test your soil acidity often.
Lettuce tends to be susceptible to Cucumber Mosaic Virus, Snails, and Slugs so keep a note of any developing symptoms.
