Romaine Lettuce on Seed Tape (Lactuca sativa) simplifies direct sowing with approximately 420 seeds pre-spaced between two very thin layers of biodegradable fibre. The tape is 6 metres long and can be cut to fit a row or container. W.H. Perron states an untreated formulation and approximately 75 days to maturity after sowing. Plants form elongated heads with green, crisp, mild leaves. Regular density limits overseeding and reduces thinning while producing an orderly row in a vegetable garden or large container. The format is especially convenient when handling individual lettuce seed would be difficult.
Make a small furrow in rich, loose, well-drained soil. Lay the tape flat, moisten it to ensure contact with the bottom, then cover it with a thin layer of growing mix, approximately 6 mm. Space rows 40 to 45 cm apart. Direct sow outdoors when soil can be worked, including 7 to 10 days after the last ground frost, then repeat every two weeks to stagger harvests. Lettuce requires sun and consistent moisture; during summer heat, light afternoon shade helps limit stress and premature bolting. Keep every tape section covered during germination.
Enrich the bed with compost, well-rotted manure, or a high-nitrogen fertilizer used according to its label. Mulch after plants establish to preserve cool soil, reduce weeds, and stabilize moisture. Harvest the head when firm, preferably early in the morning. Cut it slightly above soil level; the base may sometimes produce a second flush late in summer. Wash and dry the leaves, then keep them for approximately one week in a clean bag in the refrigerator. Avoid allowing heads to become bitter or bolt. Record sowing dates so each succession can be harvested at its best stage.

Soil and care
The right care,at the right time.
Soil pH
6.0 to 7.0
Minimum temperature
Tolerates light frost
Care level
Easy
Watering
Keep soil consistently moist without saturation, especially during germination and head formation. Water gently at soil level so tape is not displaced or exposed. Mulch after emergence to slow evaporation. Check containers and hot-weather crops more often. Water stress encourages bitterness and bolting, while prolonged saturation weakens roots and reduces airflow in the soil. Record dates and adjust watering to actual soil and weather conditions.
Soil type
Choose rich, loose, cool, well-drained soil amended with mature compost. Level the surface finely so the tape remains fully in contact with the bottom of the furrow. Avoid compacted or waterlogged ground, which slows emergence and weakens roots. A light mulch applied after emergence then helps preserve even moisture and keeps the root zone cooler during warm weather and dry periods.
Fertilization
Before sowing, incorporate mature compost or well-rotted manure. Lettuce responds to moderate nitrogen that supports foliage; use an appropriate fertilizer according to its label without overdosing. In containers, divide applications and water before feeding. Stop if foliage becomes excessively soft or salts accumulate on the surface. Maintain consistent moisture after every application. Record dates and adjust watering to actual soil and weather conditions. Check drainage, soil coolness, and head firmness regularly.
Moisture
Consistent moisture without waterlogging

Bloom period
Romaine lettuce is harvested before flowering. Heat, long days, or water stress can trigger bolting: the stem elongates, the head loosens, and flavour often becomes more bitter. Harvest firm heads promptly and remove bolting plants. For food production, do not maintain flowering in the main row. Resume sowing when cooler conditions return. Record dates and adjust watering to actual soil and weather conditions.
Fruiting
Sow directly outdoors when the soil can be worked, specifically 7 to 10 days after the last ground frost, then repeat every two weeks to spread out harvests. Harvest the apple when firm, preferably early in the morning. Repeat sowing every two weeks to spread out harvests. During hot weather, use light afternoon shade, harvest firm apples quickly, and suspend sowing if plants bolt too quickly.
Days to maturity
75 days after sowing
Harvest
At approximately 75 days when the head is firm; cut early in the morning

Wildlife and pets
Life,around your plants.
Supporting wildlife
Laituehes harvested before bolting attract little beneficial wildlife through flowers. If some plants bloom, small insects may visit the white to pinkish flowers, but root quality declines. Focus on protecting young leaves from flea beetles and roots from cabbage maggots through rotation, row cover, and good soil sanitation.
