When and how do I plant iceberg lettuce seeds?
Sow in cool weather, spring or late summer. Barely cover the seeds, since they need light, and keep them cool and moist; they sprout in about 7 to 10 days.
How much sun and space does iceberg need?
Grow it in full sun to part shade, and space plants about 10 to 12 inches apart so the heads have room to form.
Why is my lettuce bitter or bolting?
Heat and dryness are usually to blame. Keep the soil evenly moist, grow it in cool weather, and give it a little afternoon shade in warm regions.
How long until iceberg lettuce is ready?
Usually around 70 to 85 days, once the heads feel firm and full. Harvest in the cool of the morning.
How do I get firm, well-formed heads?
Consistent moisture and cool conditions are the key. Even watering and enough spacing help the plants form tight, crisp heads.
How do I use iceberg lettuce?
Its crisp leaves are perfect for wedge salads, lettuce wraps, tacos, burgers, and sandwiches, adding cool, refreshing crunch.
