Plant Spacing:

• Babyleaf – continuous band.

Other Considerations:

• Harden off seedlings by reducing water and temperature for 2-3 days before transplanting. 

Harvest:

• Cut lettuce holds best when harvested in the morning and cooled rapidly. 
• For salad mix or baby leaf production, harvest individual leaves when they reach desired size, or cut evenly across the bed making sure to stay above the growing tip.
