Planting outdoors
From Mid Spring TO Mid Summer
Plant container grown plants out when risk of frost has passed, in rich moisture retentive soil. Watch out for slugs and snails - treat with pellets, or barriers (egg-shells, saw-dust, or copper tape) to avoid damage to the plants
Propagation by seed
From Early Spring TO Late Summer
Sow lettuce seeds in damp compost in greenhouse, and keep the compost moist, but not waterlogged. Sow in succession - about every two weeks - to get a continuous crop
