Lollo Blonde Lettuce

Here are some short tips for seeding Lollo Blonde Lettuce seeds:

1. Planting Time: Sow in early spring or late summer for a cool-season harvest. Lollo Blonde thrives in temperatures between 55-70°F (13-21°C).

2. Soil: Choose well-drained, fertile soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. Improve soil fertility by adding compost.

3. Sowing Depth: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, spaced about 1 inch apart. Thin seedlings to 6-8 inches apart once they’re large enough.

4. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Lettuce needs regular watering, especially during dry spells.

5. Sunlight: Plant in full sun or partial shade. Lollo Blonde benefits from a bit of afternoon shade in warmer climates.

6. Thinning: Thin seedlings early to allow for proper growth and to avoid overcrowding. Space plants 6-8 inches apart.

7. Fertilization: Lettuce is a light feeder. A balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer or compost will support growth.

8. Pest Control: Watch for pests like aphids or slugs. Use organic methods like neem oil or diatomaceous earth if necessary.

9. Harvesting: Harvest when the leaves are tender and crisp, usually 30-45 days after sowing. For continuous harvest, pick outer leaves as needed.

Happy gardening!
