Where to plant lettuce

Choose the sunniest place for the bed; there should be no shading.

Good predecessors for salad are tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, and legumes.

You can’t sow lettuce in the same bed two years in a row.

There is no need to rush with planting; warm weather without frost should set in.

If it gets cold after planting, you can cover the bed with film until the seedlings appear.
