Growing Instructions

Starting your seeds

You can start romaine lettuce seeds indoors using a heat mat for better germination. Once the seedlings sprout and grow a few sets of leaves, move them outdoors. Keep the soil moist and provide 4–6 hours of sunlight daily. When direct sowing romaine seeds, plant them about 1/4 inch deep with a light cover of soil in well-drained soil. Space them 8–12 inches apart to allow for proper growth and full head development.

Harvesting your seeds

To harvest romaine lettuce, wait until the leaves reach a desirable size, typically around 6 to 8 inches in length. Using scissors or garden shears, cut the outer leaves about an inch above the base of the plant, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing. Harvesting outer leaves instead of the entire plant promotes continuous growth.
