When planting lettuce this late in the season, choose a shady location and be prepared to provide ample water to prevent bitter flavours.
Garden lettuce can be divided into four main categories: Leaf, Romaine, Butterhead and Iceberg. Of the four types, leaf and romaine lettuce are the easiest to grow in theLeaf lettuce plants are characterized by large, loosely packed leaves joined at the stem. Leaf lettuce ranges in colour from light to dark green to deep burgundy, speckled or a combination of colours . It usually has a mild flavour with crispy texture but not as crisp as Romaine lettuce.
Butterhead, bibb or Boston lettuce names are used interchangeably to describe lettuce cultivars that are known for their soft, “buttery” textured leaves and sweet, mild flavour. The loose forming heads of this lettuce type range in colour from light to dark green. In the last several years, grocery stores are selling ‘living lettuce’ or ‘hydroponic lettuce.’ It is the Butterhead lettuce cultivars that are used for these living lettuce sales.
Seeding distances between plants and rows for lettuce will be determined by the type of lettuce being grown. Follow directions on the seed package. Baby leaf lettuce can be sown much closer than romaine lettuce that will be harvested as large heads. Lettuce seed should be lightly covered at planting time .
