Growing tips

Sow thinly, spread out in rows 0.5-1 cm deep and 10-15 cm apart. Add soil on top and press down well so that the seeds have a firm hold on the soil. Water well and do not allow to dry out. Lamb's lettuce will still grow at temperatures between 5 and 10° C. Sub-zero temperatures are tolerated. However, there is no growth at low temperatures. Depending on the weather, late sowings may not be ready for harvest until spring. Plants can be pre-cultivated in areas that become available late (for example after tomatoes or cucumbers). To do this, 6-8 seeds are sown in small pots and planted out 4-6 weeks later with root balls at a distance of 10 × 10 cm. This ensures good growth until winter. However, directly sown plants root deeper and are more resistant to drought.
