Lettuce Quick Tips to Share:

Lettuce get growing already!
We are “sow” excited for homegrown produce! The season always starts off with succulent salad greens. Here are our favorite tips for lettuce success:

Light aids germination for lettuce seeds; sow near the soil surface.
Ideal soil (not air) temperatures for germination are 60°–70°F, but above 80°F seeds go dormant. If you live in a warm summer climate, shade the sowing area during germination or consider starting your lettuce seed indoors.
Summer heat can cause lettuce to bolt and turn bitter. Grow your summer lettuce where it will get afternoon shade; for example, north of your tomatoes or pole beans.

Growing lettuce is easy once you know these simple steps.

We loved the home location and the road-side stands during the flat sales. But your website absolutely sucks and the online catalog is useless. I was told that it displayed everything you sell and I could not find any iris. I don't expect it to change though since the business has been around since the 50's.
