Planting and Growing Instructions
Cimmaron Romaine is easy to grow, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced gardeners. Here’s how to grow it successfully:
-
Soil Preparation:
Cimmaron Romaine thrives in well-drained, loamy soil. Enrich the soil with organic matter or compost to ensure the plants get the nutrients they need. Lettuce prefers a slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH of 6.0-7.0. -
Planting:
Plant the seeds 1/8 inch deep and space them about 6-12 inches apart for optimal growth. Lettuce grows best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates. -
Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Lettuce prefers a steady supply of water, especially during dry spells. Mulch around the base to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. -
Thinning:
Thin the seedlings to 12 inches apart once they have several sets of leaves. This ensures that the plants have enough room to grow and develop into full-sized heads of lettuce. -
Harvesting:
Cimmaron Romaine is ready to harvest in about 55-70 days from planting. For a continuous harvest, pick the outer leaves as needed, or harvest the entire head when it reaches the desired size.
