Sowing Cold Crops Outdoors
Posted by Sarah on March 26th 2010 in Ask the Expert
When can I seed lettuce and other cold loving vegetables directly into my garden?

Hi Tim,
Good question! Lettuce seeds can germinate when the soil temperature is around 32F. If you’re looking to seed an early crop outdoors of lettuce, parsnips or spinach, now would be the time! Remember to stagger salad crops throughout the spring, summer and fall to ensure you’ll always have a leaf to harvest.
