Sow and grow:

Outdoors: sow thinly March-August where they are to crop, 1.5 cm (1/2-inch) deep, directly into prepared, fertile, moisture-retentive soil, which has been watered. For cut and come again baby leaves, allow 15 cm (6-inch) between rows, or sow thinly, directly into 25 cm (10-inch) pots with drainage holes. Early sowings may benefit from cloche protection. Seedlings usually appear in 7-14 days. No further thinning should be necessary. Keep moist. Regular sowings, made every two to three weeks, will ensure a continuous supply of leaves. Pick a few from each plant when approximately 10 cm (4-inch) high. They will regrow for up to 4 'cuts.' Harvest: April-October. For mature lettuces, allow 25 cm (10-inch) between rows and thin to 20 cm (8-inch) apart. Harvest whole plants from May.
