LETTUCE (COS)
Romaine

Put a steak on the grill and get out the Ceaser salad dressing when it's harvest time for this popular lettuce. The long, upright leaves of Romaine have just the right crunchiness and sweetness to make a Caeser or any other salad exceptional.

Suggestions: Plant seeds in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Note: Lettuce seeds won't sprout when soil is warmer than 75 degrees F. Before planting, enrich the soil with fertilizer. Continue planting every 3 weeks. Lettuce is a cool-weather crop and must mature before hot weather arrives. Early spring and late summer plantings are the most productive. Begin thinning and eating when seedlings have 3 true leaves and continue until plants are spaced eight inches apart. Keep well watered. To harvest full-size plants, snip off individual outer leaves or cut off the entire plant.
