How to grow romaine lettuce?

Soil maintenance rich, cool, deeply tilled soil.

Exposure : sunny and sheltered from the wind.

Sowing : 0.5 to 1 cm deep in a bucket. Transplant at the 4 to 5 leaf stage, 25 cm apart between plants and rows, without burying the plant too deeply. Water copiously

Emergence: in 6 to 8 days in soil at 10°C.

Watering: regular. Keep the soil moist throughout the crop to obtain a lot of foliage and allow a better conservation after harvest. If the lettuce is not sufficiently watered, the leaves will soften and the plant will go to seed.

Harvesting: from sowing to planting, it takes 3 to 7 weeks.

Preservation : a few days in a cool place, to prolong its conservation wash and spin it.

Origin : lettuce has been cultivated for a long time in Europe. The cultivated varieties seem to derive from a wild species called wild lettuce.
