Lettuce (Bibb & Butterhead)
This is a hardy plant that performs best at 60-65ºF. Lettuce has a germination rate of 99%, meaning that if you follow the directions, you should have plenty of lettuce to go around!
Plant one seed per section, barely covered with potting mix.
Shade the seeds on sunny, warm days if necessary to keep the soil surface cool (below 75°F) until the seeds begin to sprout.
Transplant the seedlings into larger pots after 20-30 days.
The plants will reach maturity after 50 days, at which point you can enjoy a nice, fresh salad!
