Lettuce prefers cool weather. Select a location with full sun, or partial shade in hot areas. Sow in early spring or fall, or in winter in mild climates. Keep soil evenly moist for best growth. Thin regularly. Lettuce does not like to be crowded.
Harvest as soon as the inner head is tight and firm, well before the plant bolts (sends up a seed stalk). Remove the entire head by cutting at the base.
