Oakleaf Lettuce Planting Guide

Oakleaf Lettuce 🥬

1. Choose a Planting Location:
Oakleaf lettuce prefers cooler temperatures and grows well in partial to full sun 🌞.

2. Prepare the Soil:
Use well-draining, rich soil, and mix in compost to enhance fertility 🌾. Lettuce prefers a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH (6.0-7.0).

3. Planting Instructions:
Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep, spacing them 12-18 inches apart 🌍. Thin seedlings to 6-8 inches apart for optimal growth.

4. Watering Requirements:
Keep the soil evenly moist 💧, but not waterlogged. Lettuce needs consistent moisture to avoid bitterness.

5. Germination Time:
Lettuce typically germinates in 7-10 days ⏳.

6. Ongoing Care:
Harvest leaves when they are young and tender 🥬. Regular watering and fertilizing will ensure a continuous harvest.
