column to glance back a few years and
see what was happening in the area “in
yesteryear.”
Items in the column come from the
news files of the Courier and the old
Little Elm Tide that began covering the
Colony before the first families moved
into the city’s Fox & Jacobs homes
late in 1974.

By STANLEY B. LOVELACE
Denton County Extension Horticulturist
There aren’t many vegetable crops that can be
grown both in large gardens and in mini-gardens
during the winter. But lettuce is just such a crop.
Lettuce needs to be grown during the fall and
winter in Denton County because it needs cool
weather. Barring an extremely hard freeze, it will
produce until late spring. The real bonus is that
it grows just as well in a container or in a planter
box as it does in a garden, and there are many
varieties to choose from.
The three general classifications are: Head lettuce
(Iceberg type) leaf lettuce and Romaine lettuce.
Head lettuce or Iceberg lettuce is rather difficult to
grow in home gardens. It takes longer to mature
and is usually subject to all kinds of disease and
insect problems.
Leaf lettuce is by far the easiest type to grow
in the home garden. It has an open type of growth
and usually has frilled or ctumpled leaves. It can be
a very attractive addition to a flower bed because
there are leaf colors from light green to brownish-
red. Varieties include Black Seeded Simpson, Butter-
crunch, Prize Head, Oak Leaf, Salad Bowl, Ruby
and Bronze Leaf.
Romaine lettuce is one of the often neglected
types for home gardens. It is an upright variety,
9 to 10 inches tall with greenish-white interior.
One of the best varieties developed for Texas is
called Valamaine.
Young lettuce seedlings or plants nearing maturity
are sensitive to hard freeze damage, so it’s important
to plant lettuce at least 10 to 14 weeks before the
anticipated first hard freeze.
A common mistake in planting lettuce is to plant
the seed too deep. For instance, the package instruc-
tion may suggest that it be planted % to % inch
deep. When the seed doesn’t come up, you blame
the seed company for bad seed that really was good.
This is because small seeds, such as lettuce seed,
usually require light to germinate. The best technique
for planting lettuce seeds is simply to sprinkle them
on the soil and lightly scratch them into the surface
with a rake. The lettuce plants will come up within
a week if kept moist and then they need to be
thinned. This is difficult for most gardeners to do
but it is absolutely necessary with lettuce plants.

lettuce and don’t produce as much as thinned plants.
Lettuce seedlings are also easy to transplant so, if
you want you can do some of your thinning by
spreading the seedlings around. Head lettuce plants
should be set 8 to 12 inches apart and leaf lettuce,
6 to 10 inches apart.
Water and fertilizer are necessary during the
growth of lettuce if you plan to have good quality
produce without that bitter taste sometimes associat-
ed with lettuce growing during periods of stress.
When the tihy plants are up about six inches, side-
dress them with ammonium sulphate. It only takes
about one tablespoon per two feet or row and this
should be lightly sprinkled around the plants, making
sure it doesn’t touch the base of the stems, and
then water it in. Side dressing again several weeks
later will result in beautiful, high quality lettuce.
Many varieties of lettuce are ready to harvest in
45 to 60 days after seeding, so stagger plant part
of the row every two weeks through the fall and
winter. Depending on the severity of freezing weath-
er, and where you live, it’s possible to have lettuce
from the garden almost the year around.
The T-Birds coached
by Bill Davis tied their
