To plant Crisphead Iceberg lettuce seeds, choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 6 inches and incorporating compost or aged manure. Sow the seeds directly into the soil, planting them 1/8 inch deep and spacing them 12 inches apart in rows or a grid pattern. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the germination period, which typically takes 7 to 14 days. Once the seedlings emerge, thin them to maintain a final spacing of about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow room for growth. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weed growth.
