Lettuces can be grown, generally, all year round in New Zealand, thanks to its temperate climate in many of its regions.
5 Tips on Growing Amazing Lettuces
1. They love moist, well-draining soil.
2. Use great quality potting mix (or potting mix and garden mix combinations).
3. Use raised beds if you can (especially for younger plants).
4. They need regular watering. Water lightly, regularly for sweet-tasting leaves.
5. Overwatering causes waterlogging. This leads to possible root and leaf diseases.
