Planting & Care
Sow Iceberg lettuce seeds directly in the garden as soon as the soil can be worked in spring, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil moist until germination. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to allow heads to develop properly. For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks.
Provide consistent moisture and mulch to keep the soil cool. Iceberg lettuce is sensitive to heat; provide afternoon shade in warmer climates to prevent bolting. Harvest heads when they are firm and fully formed.
