As a small market grower, an absolute must is harvesting before first light. The bitter sap in the leaves sink down into the roots at night then rises with the sun. Big difference in taste. Sweet vs bitter.

thanks for that tip, so I should cut them before the sun rise?

@@lucyudy as an experiment, try cutting mid-day and taste the milky sap at the cut. When you cut it pre dawn, there is virtually none.

Winter is the best time for growing lettuce is winter here in Tucson Arizona. If you plant lettuce seeds in late Aug or early Sept. you will have greens up until March, or whenever we start getting hot again.

I get so many free lettuce seeds, that I don't know what to do with all of them, so I put them all in a jar, and shake it to mix the seeds, bronze leaf, Merlot, Cimarron, butter crunch, May Queen, Romain, Black Seeded Simpson, and more. In the fall, I sprinkle seeds into the garden beds, and water them in. In the winter, I do seed starts and transplant. I harvest whatever comes up. It is always a surprise. Last winter, it was mainly Romain and Black Seeded Simpson, this fall a mix of everything except for Romain. I've eaten a little more than half of the lettuce, and will finish harvesting before winter sets in, Alabama zone 7B.

The perfect example instead of thinning and wasting a plant - is succesive harvesting. Cut off a leaf (yesssss, its time consuming - but so is microgreens - which this is my method !!!). You have saved all of the plants, that will continue to make further leaves for the future salads. The bigger the young plant leaves, the more salad greens (for humans and Daisy !) to chow on. You don't waste plants, always have more than emough greens, and a perfectly growing garden - with 100% use and no abuse.

Winter is the best time to grow lettuce ( and kale, spinach, cilantro and a lot of other cool weather crops. Where we live it’s necessary to protect it in a cold frame or low tunnel. I live in zone 7a so it does get cold. I use ceiling fan light covers- the ones that is shaped like a trumpet bell, to cover seedlings in the fall, winter and early spring.

I prefer leaf lettuces. I used to grow marvel of 4 seasons, buttercrunch and black seeded simpson. Recently, I've had trouble getting buttercrunch to germinate and my simpson lettuce seems to go straight to bolt (spring or fall). My new favorite from this year is red fire. Tender, delicious, slow to bolt and not bitter when it does, cold hardy (especially with a little protection).

Bibb lettuce is my favorite garden lettuce, too. It germinates very easy and is heat resistant. If you start you seeds indoor under grow lamps, Bibb lettuce makes strong root system early. Seedlings are easily transplanted in the garden. I live in zone 5B.

I would look at growing heading lettuces instead of leafing lettuces. The crispiest leafing lettuce would be Romain followed by Black Seeded Simpson.

Rule (1) - don;t overplant lettuce. If you want to eat as much as Dairy and greens given her - then plant lettuce. Otherwise, sparingly plant, and know your grow space and what actual mature plant size dimensions will be there - and plant seed according to those measurements. Otherwise, Daisy and the chickens, (aphids, slugs, snails) will have green all the grow season.
