How to Sow Seeds

Growing notes: Sow your fast-cropping red and green lettuce at two-week intervals for a continuous supply throughout the growing season. Plant the seeds thinly, 5mm (1/4in) deep in rows 25-30cm (10-12in) apart. Once the seedlings emerge, typically within 7-14 days, thin them out to 20cm (8in) apart and keep them well-watered. Provide occasional boosts with liquid fertiliser to encourage healthy growth.
