  • To grow lettuce in the colder season here are a few tips.
  •  Don’t try to grow the heads to full size, instead harvest leaves but don’t disturb the growing tip. 
  • When you want to harvest a full head leave a 1” to 2” stump, there’s a good possibility a new head will grow. 
  • Growing under a row cover or cold frame offers protection from severe cold. 
  • Be aware of slugs. Baby slugs are voracious and begin emerging in early winter sometimes sooner.
