Lettuce 'May Queen'

Do not allow seed bed to get dry. Thin gradually, enjoying the thinning in an early salad or two.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that May Queen is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. May Queen needs a loamy soil with a ph of 5.8 to 6.8 (weakly acidic soil).

Sow seed on soil surface and rake in lightlty or otherwise barely cover, but not too deeply.

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.49 inches (1.25 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 5°C / 41°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing May Queen about 53 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as May Queen is a tender plant.

Ready in 60 days.
