Questions
When should I plant lettuce in Florida?
In Jacksonville, plant out from January 18 to February 8. Across Florida the window opens between January 1 and March 7, depending on the local last frost.
How is this date worked out?
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost; plant out from 2 weeks before to 1 weeks after the last frost; sow outdoors from 4 weeks before to 1 weeks after the last frost; sow again for fall 6–8 weeks before the first frost. Frost dates are NOAA 1991–2020 averages for the weather station nearest each city.
