Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips
Brown Goldring lettuce is a cold-tolerant, bronze-tipped romaine variety that thrives in well-drained, nutrient-rich soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Incorporate compost to enhance soil fertility and moisture retention. This lettuce prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates. Consistent watering is crucial, but avoid waterlogging the soil to prevent root rot. Mulching helps maintain soil moisture and temperature​.
When to Grow
Brown Goldring lettuce can be grown in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. It matures in about 55 days. This variety is suitable for USDA zones 3-9 and grows best in temperatures between 60 F and 80 F. For precise planting times, refer to local frost date charts. In milder climates, you can grow it throughout autumn and winter​.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds directly into the garden at a depth of 1/4 inch. Sow in thick bands for baby greens or space farther apart, about 8 inches, for head lettuce. For continuous harvests, sow seeds every 2-3 weeks. In cooler climates, start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost and transplant them when night temperatures remain above 30 F. Using cloches or cold frames can protect early or late crops from frost​.
How to Grow
Brown Goldring lettuce needs consistent moisture but avoid overwatering. Water at the base of the plants to prevent the leaves from getting wet, reducing the risk of diseases like downy mildew. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer rich in nitrogen to support leafy growth. Regularly monitor for pests such as aphids and caterpillars, and use organic pesticides if necessary. Thin plants to avoid overcrowding and promote air circulation.
How to Save
- Lettuce is a self-pollinating annual, making it an easy crop for seed saving.
- Do not harvest plants. Allow them to send up flower stalks.
- Once seed heads are dried and have turned a yellowish-tan color, cut the entire stalk and place in a bag.
- Crush the seed heads in the bag and separate the chaff.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 years.
