SOWING AND GROWING: Start by sowing the non-GMO seeds 1/8 inch in soil, one inch apart, in rows twelve to eighteen inches apart. Make sure to allow enough space between seeds for the lettuce to grow, as overcrowding can cause the lettuce to have a bitter taste. Firm the soil lightly. While growing, keep the soil well-watered. Harvest between 65 and 70 days after planting, to ensure the lettuce doesn’t become too mature. Transplant iceberg and romaine lettuce 10-12″ apart, in rows 18″ apart. Other types 8-10″ apart in rows 12-18″ apart for full-size heads or 6″ apart for mini heads
