Growing Iceberg lettuce in your home garden is a rewarding way to enjoy fresh, crispy salad greens. While it's a bit more particular than loose-leaf varieties, it's still very doable with the right care.
🥬 Iceberg Lettuce in the Home Garden
🧾 Quick Overview:
- Type: Crisphead lettuce
- Botanical name: Lactuca sativa
- Texture: Crunchy, tightly-packed head
- Flavor: Mild, slightly sweet
- Ideal for: Salads, sandwiches, wraps
🌱 Growing Iceberg Lettuce from Seeds
✅ Best Conditions:
- Climate: Cool weather (ideal: 15–22°C / 59–72°F)
- Sunlight: Full sun to partial shade
- Soil: Loose, fertile, well-draining soil with compost
- pH: 6.0–7.0
📋 Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Seed Starting
- Start indoors in seed trays or sow directly in garden beds/pots
-
Sow seeds ¼ inch deep, thinly spaced
- Germination in 7–10 days
2. Transplanting (if started indoors)
- Transplant after 3–4 weeks, when seedlings have 3–4 true leaves
- Spacing: 12–16 inches apart for head development
3. Watering
- Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy
- Avoid overhead watering to reduce risk of rot and disease
4. Fertilization
- Mix in compost before planting
- Side-dress with organic fertilizer (like compost tea or vermicompost) every 2–3 weeks
5. Pests/Diseases to Watch For:
- Aphids, slugs, snails, and leaf miners
- Use neem oil or companion plants like marigold to deter pests
🧺 Harvesting:
- Time to harvest: 70–85 days after sowing
- Harvest when the head feels firm and full-sized
- Don’t wait too long—overripe lettuce can bolt (flower), turning bitter
🌿 Container Gardening Tips:
- Use a container at least 8–10 inches deep
- Ensure good drainage
- Partial shade in hot climates helps prevent bolting
