Select a location with partial shade to full sun and well-drained soil. Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of about 6 inches and incorporating compost or aged manure for added nutrients. Sow the seeds directly into the soil, planting them about 1/4 inch deep and spacing them 8 to 12 inches apart in rows or a grid pattern. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period. Mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weed growth, and fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every 4 to 6 weeks. With proper care, you'll soon enjoy a harvest of tender and flavorful Summer Bibb lettuce leaves throughout the growing season.
