For direct sowing, scatter seeds thinly and cover lightly with soil, as lettuce needs light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, typically within 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow for healthy growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProvide regular watering, especially during dry spells, to prevent bolting and keep leaves tender. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Harvest outer leaves when they are young and tender, or cut the entire rosette about an inch above the soil line for a second harvest. Succession sow every 2-3 weeks for a continuous supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e1000 Salad Bowl Lettuce seeds (Lactuca sativa).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776129073462,"sku":"FOLIA-236","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6651649746_t3e6.jpg?v=1792468015","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/1000-salad-bowl-lettuce-seeds-heirloom-tender-mild-heat-tolerant-lactuca-sativa","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
