Planting & Care

Sow Bronze Mignonette lettuce seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or in late summer for a fall crop. Plant seeds 1/8 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 7-14 days. Thin seedlings to 8-12 inches apart to allow proper head development. For a continuous supply, succession sow every 2-3 weeks.

Provide regular water to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during warm spells. Mulching helps retain moisture and keep roots cool. Harvest outer leaves as needed or cut the entire head at the base when it feels firm. Lettuce is best harvested in the morning for crispness. Protect from extreme heat, which can cause bolting.
