Growing Instructions for Your Leaf Lettuce Gourmet Baby Mesclun Mix
Lettuce is a cool-season crop that thrives in temperatures between 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit. For best germination, ensure soil temperatures are below 70 degrees. Follow these simple steps to grow your own delicious mesclun mix:
- Planting Time: Sow seeds directly into well-worked soil as soon as the ground can be worked in early spring. You can also start seeds indoors 2-3 weeks before the last frost.
- Sowing Depth: Plant seeds ¼ inch deep and ½ inch apart. Thin seedlings to 4-6 inches apart for full-sized heads, or leave closer for baby leaf harvests.
- Soil and Sunlight: Choose a location with well-drained soil and full to partial sunlight (at least 4-6 hours of sun per day).
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination and hot weather. Avoid letting the soil dry out.
- Harvesting: Harvest baby leaves as soon as 21 days by snipping leaves above the crown. For full heads, harvest in about 58 days when heads are mature.
Tips for Growing the Best Mesclun Lettuce Mix
- Succession Planting: For a continuous harvest, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks.
- Container Gardening: This mix is perfect for containers! Use pots at least 6 inches deep and ensure good drainage.
- Fertilizing: Lettuce is not a heavy feeder, but a light application of balanced fertilizer at planting time can be beneficial.
- Pest and Disease Control: Monitor for pests like aphids and slugs. Use organic pest control methods if needed. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
