Description: 2400+BRONZE MIGNONETTE BUTTERHEAD LETTUCE SEEDS3 GRAMS Planting Guide for Bronze Mignonette Butterhead Lettuce: 1. Choose the right time: Bronze Mignonette Butterhead lettuce is a cool-weather crop, so it's best to plant it in early spring or late summer. The ideal temperature range for germination is between 45°F and 75°F (7°C-24°C). 2. Select a suitable location: Choose a location that receives partial shade, especially during the warmer part of the day. The soil should be well-draining and rich in organic matter. 3. Prepare the soil: Clear the area of any weeds, rocks, or debris. Loosen the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) using a garden fork or tiller. Incorporate compost or well-rotted manure to improve soil fertility and drainage. 4. Sow the seeds: Plant the Bronze Mignonette Butterhead lettuce seeds ¼ inch deep in rows spaced about 12 inches (30 cm) apart. Alternatively, you can scatter the seeds and gently press them into the soil. Space the seeds about 6 inches (15 cm) apart within the rows. 5. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period. Use a watering can or gentle mist to avoid displacing the seeds. Once the seedlings emerge, water deeply and regularly, ensuring the soil remains evenly moist throughout the growing season. 6. Thinning: When the seedlings reach about 2-3 inches (5-7 cm) in height, thin them to a spacing of 8-10 inches (20-25 cm) between plants. This will allow each lettuce head to develop fully and prevent overcrowding. 7. Fertilization: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer or compost tea every 2-3 weeks during the growing season to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper application rates. 8. Mulching: Applying a layer of organic mulch around the lettuce plants can help conserve moisture, suppress weed growth, and regulate soil temperature. Harvest Guide for Bronze Mignonette Butterhead Lettuce: 1. Harvesting Timing: Bronze Mignonette Butterhead lettuce is usually ready for harvest 55-65 days after sowing. However, you can begin harvesting leaves when they reach your desired size and maturity. Younger leaves will be more tender and mild-flavored. 2. Harvesting Process: To harvest individual leaves, gently pull them downwards, close to the base of the plant, or use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the desired leaves. If you prefer to harvest the entire head, use a knife to cut the lettuce head just above the soil level. 3. Storage: Freshly harvested Bronze Mignonette Butterhead lettuce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Wrap the leaves in a damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag or a container with a lid to maintain freshness. 4. Successive Plantings: To enjoy a continuous harvest, consider making successive plantings every 2-3 weeks during the growing season. This ensures a steady supply of fresh lettuce throughout the season. By following this planting and harvest guide, you can successfully grow and enjoy the crisp and flavorful Bronze Mignonette Butterhead lettuce in your garden.
