Direct sow seeds in early spring, as soon as the ground can be worked, in rich, well-prepared soil. Spotted Aleppo Lettuce is also suitable for fall and winter crops that may be planted in late summer. The flavor of this lettuce is improved by both blanching the inner leaves and by a light frost; for blanching, grow until the outer leaves begin to fall, then bind the heads with twine for two weeks. Approximately 100-150 seeds per packet.
