Head Lettuce

I started with two 1" starter plants of Head Lettuce from Al's Garden Center. I planted them in two medium-sized containers, one terra-cotta and one plastic and put them in full sun. This lettuce produces delicious, solid heads that are both crisp and tender. (right) My lettuce on June 13th, 2009 about 35 days in.

Growing Tips: Head Lettuce prefers full sun and water 2-3 times per week until established. Plant 12" apart or in their own containers.

Harvesting: Head Lettuce matures in 60-90 days and the outside leaves can be harvested as desired or the entire head upon maturity.
