To Make Head Lettuce Head 
Lettuce will seldom head in hot weather, 
unless grown in shade. It is a cool weather 
plant, doing best very early in spring, or 
late in fall, as head lettuce. 
Sowing head lettuce seed late in fall, just 
before ground freezes, is one good way to 
get an early start the next spring. Very 
early spring sowing—March or early April— 
is good. 
Bear in mind that the ground should be 
good and rich, and that the plants should be 
thinned or transplanted to 6 to 10 inches 
apart. Then they should be hoed often, the 
oftener the better. You can’t expect to pluck 
large solid heads of lettuce from a bed in 
which the plants are thick.
