How to Grow Grand Rapids Lettuce Seeds:

  1. Seed Starting: Start Grand Rapids lettuce seeds indoors or directly sow them outdoors, depending on your climate and the time of year.

  5. Harvesting Time: Grand Rapids lettuce can be harvested once the leaves have reached a usable size, typically around 4-6 inches in length. Harvest the outer leaves by cutting them at the base of the plant, leaving the inner leaves to continue growing. The best time to harvest is in the morning when the leaves are crisp and full of moisture.
