Prepare a fine seedbed for Continuity Lettuce and keep the shallow sowing zone evenly moist while seedlings emerge. Thin according to the intended harvest stage: closer spacing can suit young leaves, while mature heads need more room. In warming weather, evaluate soil moisture and plant condition frequently instead of following a universal schedule. Pick outer leaves or cut mature plants at the stage you prefer. Record sowing and harvest dates to refine timing for the next planting.
Before sowing Continuity Lettuce, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity. Ranges reflect biological and seasonal variation rather than a fixed promise. Label each planting with its date and location, then compare emergence, growth, and harvest with local weather. This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Lettuce likes full sun except in hot summer climates where it prefers some shade, especially in the afternoon. Add plenty of compost to the soil to encourage rapid growth. Water evenly and moderately to prevent bitterness.
Planting & Growing: Start seeds indoors 4 weeks before transplanting outside, or sow seed directly as soon as the soil is workable. Make successive plantings every 10-14 days for a continuous harvest. In mild climates, lettuce can be sown from spring through fall.
Harvesting & Storage: Begin harvesting outer leaves as soon as they are large enough and continue until a central stalk begins to form, which signals the end of the harvest period. You can also harvest the entire plant when it's mature but still young and crisp.
