How to Grow Fothergills Oh So Simple Little Gem Lettuce Seeds:
- Sowing Time Sow seeds outdoors from early spring through to late summer. You can also start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost for an earlier harvest.
- Prepare the Soil Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-drained, fertile soil. Incorporate compost to improve soil structure if necessary.
- Sow the Seeds Scatter seeds thinly on the surface of the soil and lightly cover with a thin layer of compost or soil. Space seeds 20-30 cm apart for head growth.
- Watering Keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Lettuce prefers regular watering, especially in dry spells.
- Thin Seedlings Once seedlings appear, thin them out to ensure proper space for the lettuce heads to develop.
- Harvesting Little Gem lettuce can be harvested when the heads are firm and full-sized. Simply cut the leaves or the entire head with scissors.
- Continual Harvesting For a longer harvest period, sow new seeds every 2-3 weeks.
