How to Grow Fothergills Oh Sow Simple Iceberg Lettuce:

1. Prepare the Soil:
   Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. If growing in containers, use good-quality compost. Iceberg lettuce prefers soil that is rich in organic matter and has a slightly alkaline pH.

2. Sow the Seeds:
   Sow the seeds thinly on the surface of the soil and lightly cover them with a thin layer of soil. Space seeds 25-30 cm apart if planting directly into the ground or larger containers.

3. Water Regularly:
   Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, especially during hot or dry weather. This will help your lettuce grow strong and prevent it from bolting prematurely.

4. Thin the Seedlings:
   When the seedlings have developed a few leaves, thin them out to allow space for the remaining plants to grow. This ensures each plant has enough room to form a tight head.

5. Harvest:
   Iceberg lettuce is ready to harvest in 8-10 weeks when the heads are firm and well-formed. Simply cut the head at the base or harvest outer leaves as needed.
