Growing Tips for Organic Big Boston Lettuce Seeds:

1. Planting: Direct sow seeds outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep, 6-12 inches apart, in rows spaced 12-18 inches apart.
2. Soil: Prefers well-drained, loamy soil rich in organic matter with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Adding compost or well-rotted manure will improve soil fertility and moisture retention.
3. Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Regular watering is crucial to prevent leaves from becoming bitter and to maintain a tender texture.
4. Sunlight: Thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in warmer climates. Cooler temperatures help prevent bolting.
5. Temperature: Ideal growing temperatures are between 60-65°F (15-18°C). Lettuce is a cool-season crop and performs best in spring and fall.
6. Thinning: Thin seedlings to 6-12 inches apart once they have a few true leaves to allow space for the heads to develop.
7. Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer or compost tea every few weeks to encourage healthy growth and larger heads.
8. Harvesting: Harvest individual outer leaves as needed or cut the entire head when it reaches full size. For the best flavor, harvest in the morning when leaves are crisp and cool.
