Growing Oakleaf Lettuce

- Sow seeds directly in your garden patch or in seedling starters.

- If sowing directly in your garden patch, create a row and sow seeds about 0.5cm deep. Cover with a thin layer of soil. 

- Use well-draining soil for growing - a good potting soil mixed with sand is a good start. 

- Germination takes 3-5 days. Thin extra seedlings once plant starts to grow as overcrowding can lead to root rot. 

- Fertilise with organic fertiliser like vermicompost or meal bone after seedling stage to promote growth.

- Harvest after 40-60 days. Young lettuce leaves has a milder, softer taste compared to matured lettuce.

- To harvest, use a knife or pair of scissors and cut the leaves about 2 inches above the soil. You should get another 2-3 harvests.
