In cool climates, sow seeds in spring after the last frost or in the late summer to early fall. Sow seeds in trays, then transplant them into an open field or sunny location. In temperate areas, sow in spring or fall. In tropical climates, sow year-round, avoiding the mid-summer. Seeds need light to germinate; do not bury. Keep soil moist; celtuce has a shallow root system and loves water. Moderate watering is required once the stems appear. Too little or too much water can cause cracking. Apply liquid fertilizer or compost tea every three weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHarvesting Summer 38 Celtuce Lettuce\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf desired, pick individual outer leaves before the plant is mature, being careful not to pick too many at any given time.
