LETTUCE 
How fo Plant Lettuce: Lettuce is a cool-season plant. 
It likes rich soil and does best when sown real early in 
the spring, but you can grow a good fall crop, too, by 
seeding just before the fall rains start. Space rows 16-20. _ 
inches apart. Thin the heading varieties 10-12 inches 
apart in the row. Leafy varieties may be left 3-4 inches 
apart in the row. Head lettuce doesn't always head 
successfully unless started early. To be sure of a crop, 
start in a hot bed or cold frame, put on rich soil and 
cultivate well.
