About Our Seeds: - Seeds are carefully sealed in tear-resistant and moisture-proof packaging. - They are stored in a controlled, dry environment to ensure quality. - Each pack is specifically assembled for current and upcoming planting seasons. - Our seeds are non-GMO and untreated, ensuring purity. - Guaranteed to be true to the advertised variety, with growing instructions provided.

Location and Climate Requirements: - Lettuce thrives best in partial shade to full sun. In hotter climates, afternoon shade may be necessary to prevent premature bolting (going to seed). - As a cool-season crop, lettuce grows optimally at temperatures ranging from 45°F (7°C) to 75°F (24°C). For best results, plant in early spring or late summer.

Soil Type and pH Level: - Ideal growth occurs in well-draining soil enriched with organic matter, with loamy soil providing excellent water retention. - A slightly acidic to neutral pH (around 6.0 to 7.0) is preferred for optimal lettuce growth.

Planting Instructions: - Sow seeds at a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch (6-12 mm). - Space seeds or seedlings approximately 6 to 12 inches (15-30 cm) apart based on the specific varieties of lettuce mixed in; adhere to the recommendations on the seed packet.

Watering and Fertilizing Tips: - Maintain consistent moisture in the soil, avoiding waterlogging. Morning watering is optimal to allow foliage to dry before evening. - Before planting, enrich the soil by mixing in compost to provide necessary nutrients.

Mulching and Harvesting: - Apply mulch around plants to help retain moisture and regulate temperature. - Harvest outer leaves as they mature, promoting continued growth of inner leaves. Use clean, sharp scissors or a knife to cut just above the soil line.

Continuous Harvesting: - To sustain a continuous yield, consider succession planting every few weeks to replace harvested plants. - In hot weather, protect your lettuce with shade cloth or plant them in areas with afternoon shade to prevent bolting.

Harvesting Time: - Collect leaves when they reach your desired size, generally around 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) long, according to your personal preference.

Exclusively Fresh: - We donate non-compliant or aged seeds locally to minimize waste.

Safe Seeds: - Our seeds are non-GMO, heirloom, and untreated.

Saving Tradition: - By cultivating mature plants, you can save seeds from your harvest and continue this enjoyable gardening tradition year after year.

This delightful mix features a variety of lettuces including romaine, lollo, green leaf, and red leaf—an exquisite blend cherished by chefs and food enthusiasts. The plants grow to a height of 9 inches with a spread of 6 inches, producing lush leaves measuring 6-8 inches.

Sow outdoors in early spring after the last frost date and enjoy harvesting in 35-70 days. Plant in rows 12-18 inches apart, lightly covering with 1/8 inch of fine soil. Firm the soil gently, keeping it evenly moist; seedlings typically emerge within 7-10 days. For extended harvests, sow new seeds every two weeks.
