Karachi and coastal Sindh October to January. Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Peshawar September to November, and again in February. Murree, Swat, Abbottabad and Quetta March to August.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMethod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct-sow in the bed or in a pot, seed barely covered with 3–5 mm of fine soil. Lettuce seed is tiny — do not bury it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–10 days at 15–20°C. Above 27°C the seed simply refuses, so sow in the evening, water in, and keep the bed shaded until the seedlings show.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thin to 20–25 cm for full hearts, or leave 8–10 cm apart and cut as baby leaf.
