Lettuce: Romaine - Parris Island Cos Planting Instructions:
Romaine - Parris Island Cos Lettuce can be planted in fall or spring. Direct sow 8 to 12" apart and 1/8" below the surface of the soil. The rows should be 12 to 18" apart. Make sure the plants are watered well during dry periods. If rainfall isn't regular, water plants deeply at least once a week or more frequently during times of drought. Because lettuce is shallow-rooted, it is important to avoid disturbing the soil around the plants when you are weeding. Mulch the plants with a layer of compost or straw to help keep moisture in the soil. The plants do best in full sun. Grow time is 85 days.
Lettuce: Romaine - Parris Island Cos Harvesting Instructions:
Harvest the lettuce early rather than late for the best flavor. If lettuce is allowed to grow for too long, it becomes bitter and tough. It is best to harvest in the morning or the evening. At these times, the leaves are crisp, sweet, and full of moisture. Lettuce can be stored for 5 to 7 days in the refrigerator in a plastic bag.
