This mix of lettuce favorites is usually harvested young and mixed for salads. Pick when young at 3 to 4 weeks. Can also be separated after sprouting and transplanted to grow to maturity (approximately 40 to 50 days).
SOWING…Plant seed outdoors as soon as ground can be worked. Plant in rows 4 to 6 inches apart, spacing seeds thinly in the row. Can also be broadcast thinly in a section of the garden. Cover with ¼ inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Keep soil moist until the seeds start to grow.
GERMINATION…Germinates in 7 to 14 days depending on soil and temperature conditions.
HARVESTING…Using scissors, snip the young leaves off, about ½ inch above the soil line. For a continuous supply of lettuce throughout the summer, plant Hart’s Special Mix each week.
REMARKS…Plant enough in each planting to last about a week at harvest time. If you like salad, start with about 5 feet of row and adjust each planting as needed. This mild mix contains the following lettuce: 20% Black Seeded Simpson, 20% Green Salad Bowl, 20% Oakleaf, 20% Red Salad Bowl, and 20% Romaine.Share
