To sow winter head lettuces under cover, it's important to choose quality seeds and sow them in individual containers such as peat cups. Prepare a light, well-drained potting mix, then sow the seeds on the surface, spacing them about 1 cm apart. Cover lightly with potting soil and tamp gently. Water sparingly to keep the soil moist, but not too wet.
Place your cups in a warm, bright place, inside a greenhouse or conservatory for example. Be sure to maintain a constant temperature of around 18-20°C to encourage germination. Once the plants have developed a few leaves, you can transplant them into the ground, making sure to space them about 30 cm apart.
It's important to check your plants regularly to make sure they don't run out of water and to eliminate any parasites. By following these tips, you'll be able to enjoy delicious winter head lettuces to liven up your salads and warm dishes during the cold season.
