nic's Lettuce 'Baby Leaf' Care Instructions
If you would like to sow this plant directly, try 0.49 inches (1.25 cm) deep with a guideline distance of 5.85 inches (15.0 cm).
Lettuce is known for growing to a height of approximately 20.0 cm (7.8 inches) so ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant.
Your garden has partial sun light which is ideal for Lettuce.
Remember to water often.
Your garden's USDA Hardiness Zone (8) is within the ideal range for Lettuce. The recommended range is between Zone 4 and 9.
Lettuce ideally needs a soil ph of 6.2 to 6.8 (acidic soil), so check your soil acidity regularily.
Lettuce problems include Cucumber Mosaic Virus, Snails, and Slugs, so keep a close eye out for any developing symptoms.
