Instructions:
Make sure not to overcrowd your lettuce, the more crowded the lettuce the more bitter it will taste. Butterhead lettuce prefers cooler weather, and is best planted in early spring or fall. When harvesting, pick the outer leaves, or harvest the entire head leaving an inch or so at the base so it can regrow.
