Species and varieties: Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) comes in several varieties including Romaine, Butterhead, Iceberg, and Leaf lettuce. Each variety has unique characteristics in terms of leaf shape, texture, and flavor.
Hybrid or heirloom: Organic lettuce seeds can be either hybrid or heirloom. Heirloom varieties are open-pollinated and have been passed down through generations, while hybrid varieties are bred for specific traits such as disease resistance and uniformity.
Pruning and training: Lettuce does not require pruning or training. However, regular harvesting of outer leaves can encourage continuous growth. Ensure to thin seedlings to avoid overcrowding and promote healthy development.
Fertilization needs: Lettuce benefits from a balanced fertilizer applied at planting and periodically throughout the growing season. Organic options such as compost or well-rotted manure can be used to enrich the soil. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive leaf growth and reduced flavor.
Hardiness zones: Lettuce is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 4-9. It can tolerate light frost and prefers cooler temperatures.
Climate requirements: Lettuce grows best in cool weather, with optimal temperatures ranging from 60-70°F (15-21°C). It requires full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
