Harden seedlings by reducing water and temperature for 2-3 days before planting outdoors. Properly hardened transplants can survive temperatures as low as 0°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eDIRECT SOW - Lettuce is hardy and can be planted as early as the soil can be worked. It is a cool weather crop and grows best at temperatures of 16-18°C. Seeds germinate even at low, 4°C, soil temperature, but poorly above 24°C. Sow seeds 2.5cm apart in rows 25-30cm apart. Lightly cover and keep moist. Enjoy thinnings ultimately leaving 25cm between plants. Ample water grows the sweetest lettuce. Careful variety selection is important for hot weather plantings. Sow every 3 weeks for a continuous supply of fresh lettuce.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"tf","offers":[{"title":"Packet","offer_id":41980178104382,"sku":"SQ1294-A","price":5.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 seeds","offer_id":41980178137150,"sku":"SQ1294-B","price":10.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5000 seeds","offer_id":41980178169918,"sku":"SQ1294-C","price":29.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/3181\/9838\/files\/lettucefawn1.jpg?v=1756884563"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/3181\/9838\/collections\/Pandero_SweetheartGem.jpg?v=1775084511","url":"https:\/\/transitionfarm.com\/collections\/four-season-lettuces.oembed","provider":"Transition Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
