How to properly sow seeds
The planting of lettuce seeds depends on several important factors. Firstly, when sowing seeds in open ground, it is important to take into account the temperature of the soil - it should warm up well, and also contain the nutrients necessary for good growth and development of the plant. Therefore, sowing lettuce seeds is recommended not earlier than the end of April. The quality of planting material also depends on the yield - for sowing lettuce, it is better to use seeds with high germination from proven breeders.
Also, when choosing seeds, it is important to consider the timing of plant maturation:
- if you want to harvest in the summer-autumn, then the seeds must be sown in early May and until mid-July;
- and to enjoy lettuce leaves during the cold season (winter), sow the seeds in containers or pots in early fall.
