You can plant lettuce at any time. For instance, I just planted my Romaine lettuce. But because the hot weather is coming, I planted them under the shade of a Maple tree. The shade will keep them cool during the hot weather.

Hi. Here in Napier New Zealand I grow or more correctly allow to grow a self sowing plant known locally as Miners/Mynahs Lettuce. Once you allow it to seed it reappears each winter and spring. Since I realised how easily lettuces will perpetuate themselves I’ve always allowed my other lettuce varieties to flower and seed. Buying or sowing lettuce seeds or plants is almost a thing of the past. When the new plants appear, all over the garden, just transplant them to where you want to them to develop. I love your entertaining and informative videos and great suggestions.
How far to plant them apart from each other
The beer remedy also attracts raccoons. After they finish off the beer they dig up the lettuce looking for more!

How do you know when it's time to use the produce,tell tale signs or is it just the way the vegetables look…..sorry,complete novice here.

Perhaps leave a few bolted plants in place to feed pollinators? At least that is what they suggest on Gardener's World.

I love the crispiness of Lollo Rossa. And at €2 a pop in the supermarkets these days, they're definitely worth having a go at at home.

As long as they last longer than Mary Lizzy Trussless
