NOW IS THE TIME TO PLANT LETTUCES and spinach in the garden, even if it is still a bit cool in March. Growing lettuces does not require a big garden space—the smallest of gardens or container gardens can be quite productive. Six to eight weeks before the last frost is perfect timing for starting these cool-weather loving crops from seed. THERE ARE FOUR MAIN CATEGORIES OF LETTUCE to choose from—loose-leaf, butterheads and bibb, romaine, and crisphead. While all are considered easy to grow, growing romaine and crisphead types into full heads does take more time and proper air temperatures are important. Air temperatures of 45 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit are best for growing lettuces. PLANT LETTUCE SEEDS IN A WELL-PREPARED garden space. They can be planted in single rows, in a broad row, or cover an entire area or container. Just ensure you have adequate space to enter the area for harvesting. Lettuce seeds are quite small so I like to use a folded piece of paper, allowing the fold to hold the tiny seeds and gently tapping the paper to release the seeds into the row. If you are using a broad row it is easy to simply broadcast the seeds over the area. Cover the seeds lightly with 1/4 inch of soil, then water gently.
