Description: Iceberg lettuce, also known as crisphead lettuce, is known for its tightly packed, crunchy leaves and mild flavor. It’s commonly used in salads, sandwiches, and as a garnish.
Planting Instructions:
- Iceberg lettuce requires cool temperatures and well-drained soil rich in organic matter.
- Plant seeds or seedlings in early spring or late summer.
- Space seeds or seedlings about 12-18 inches apart in rows or in a grid pattern.
- Keep the soil evenly moist throughout the growing season, especially during hot weather.
- Harvest when the heads are firm and feel solid when squeezed, typically 70-90 days after planting.
