How to Sow Seeds

Method: Sow the seeds thinly, 5mm (1/4in) deep, in rows 25-30cm (10-12in) apart.
Thinning: Keep the soil moist and thin the seedlings to 20-25cm (8-10in) apart.
Growing notes: All Year Round lettuce is one of the easiest varieties to grow, and can be grown at any time of year. Keep the plants watered and free from weeds as they grow. All Year Round lettuce–like all lettuce varieties—is a fast-yielding crop. Harvest when the head of lettuce has a firm heart, typically up to 10 weeks after sowing; picking in the morning is best, because that’s when the leaves are the freshest and juiciest.
