Instructions For Growing Lettuce - Green Thumb Sunday

I thought I would share my How To Grow Lettuce card with the Green Thumb Sunday crew.

I created the How To Grow Lettuce growing card in collaboration with TopVeg because I needed a set of instructions which I could use with my school gardening club.

Click on the image to enlarge and if you wish to print off this growing card, right click on the enlarged image and then click print picture to print out a copy.

If you would like this document as a pdf, just contact farmingfriends and I will email you the document.

I intend to print off copies and then laminate the sheet so that I can use the growing card with my school gardening club in the future.

Teachers, children, vegetable growers and anyone interested in growing lettuce are welcome to print off this growing card for their own use.

Other growing cards we have already created;

If you have any other growing cards that you would like Farming Friends & TopVeg to create then please leave a comment and we will be happy to create it for you.

  1. We haven’t had to purchase lettuce since April. I grow “Mesclun Mixes.”

  2. Hi BoggyWoggy,
    These mixes look great - can you get them in the UK?
    Thanks for your comment as always. Enjoy your lettuce.

  7. I love your “how to” cards and will be printing them off to use with my students at school. Wonderful work and thanks for sharing them. I would love to see one about growing beans, as they grow quickly and the kids are always amazed when watching them. The sooner we get the kids interested in growing things, especially things we can eat, the better off we will be.

  8. Hi Crafty Gardener,
    I am so pleased that you want to print off my cards. I will do one on beans this week and let you know - thanks for the suggestion. I am very enthusiastic about my gardening club and showing children how to grow their own veg. The joy of watching the Year 3 children dig up the potatoes at my school was brilliant.
    Thanks for visiting and commenting.

  15. Hi there
    I live in thailand and am planning a vegetable patch at my kids school. Do you have any advice about planting in hot climates, or grow cards for tomotoes, broccoli, courgettes.

    I look forward to your response

  17. Hi John,

    Thanks for visiting my website and requesting a basil growing card. I have sent you an email with it attached.

    I hope you find it useful. Let me know how you get on and if there are anymore growing cards you would like then just let me know.

  18. Hi Alexandra,

    I have just found your comment and must apologise for not replying until now.

    Great things to plant with children are potatoes, lettuce, radish, mint, broad beans and for a hot climate peppers, tomatoes, courgettes and melons are good to grow.

    I have growing cards for tomatoes, lettuce, radish, mint, broad beans, courgettes which I will send you in an email.

    I am sorry that I have taken so long to reply to your original comment and I hope that you find the growing cards useful.

    I would be interested to hear how you are getting on with the school veg garden.

    I was a teacher until recently and had a gardening club at school. We grew lettuce and then did a taste comparison with shop bought lewttuce. They children enjoyed the school grown lettuce best. we also did a league of lettuce abit like a football league and did a taste test on different types of lettuce which the children thoroughly enjoyed.

    Kind regards

    Sara
