Grow and Plant Salads Successfully – Easily grow your own salads!

Here are tips for success with each method:

Sowing in the ground: make furrows approximately 1 cm deep and 30 cm apart. Sow lettuce seeds, spacing them 2 to 3 cm apart in the furrow. Cover the seeds with soil and water lightly. Thin the plants when the first leaves appear, leaving a space of 20 to 30 cm between each plant.
Planting seedlings in pots: Buy lettuce seedlings in pots, ready to be planted. Dig holes 20 to 30 cm apart, place the plants in the holes and cover with soil. Tamp lightly and water thoroughly.

It is also possible to sow in a box or terrine indoors, then transplant the plants into the ground when they have developed their first true leaves.
