Caesar Duo: Noga & Cimarron This combination of Noga and Cimarron lettuces is easy to grow and has beautiful contrast in the garden.
Rouge d’Hiver What a beauty! Rouge d’Hiver is a French heirloom lettuce from the 1800s. It produces compact, 12" tall heads with a tender green heart surrounded by bronze-red leaves.
Unlike most of the vegetables in your garden, romaine lettuce likes some afternoon shade. Whether you’re planting seeds or seedlings, choose a spot that has morning and early afternoon sun. Lettuce also needs lots of water--be sure to water frequently if you're planting lettuce in containers.
Lettuce seeds are TINY! See that little speck next to the zucchini seed? That's a lettuce seed. Because the seeds are so small, it's easier to make homemade seed tape and plant that in the garden.
Lettuce is a cool-weather crop, so plant in early spring and early fall. Space your seeds or seedlings about 1 foot apart and ¼” deep. Keep the soil moist and watch for garden pests.
