Start lettuce seeds indoors or out, by sprinkling seeds in rows or in containers, and covering with a layer of soil. Seedlings should appear within a week to 10 days. Lettuces can tolerate cold, but care should be taken to protect them from wind.

Lettuce and other leafy greens have high water transpiration rates and should be kept consistently moist and in well drained soil. If leaves begin to wilt, plants need more water. Harvest your lettuce when it is full size and the center is firm.
