LETTUCE Approximately 25,000 seeds per oz.
HEAD LETTUCE: Start seeds indoors 3-4 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Use Jiffy 7's or a
flat and inserts with a good soil substitute, like Berger BM-2. Place seeds not over 1/4" deep.
Germinate at room temperature. Head lettuce seeds may also be sown outdoors like leaf lettuce.
For nice big heads space plants 6-8" apart. To harvest, cut head of lettuce off after they form,
just above roots. Use fresh.
