Square Foot Garden Planning - Lettuce

Lettuce (Iceberg)

Yes, you can grow Iceberg Lettuce like the supermarket has, but better! Iceberg makes icy0green, medium-sized heads solidly packed to the center with crunchy leaves. Harvest in about 62 days. Growing tip: Sow directly in garden as early as soil can be worked in spring. Or start seed indoors 5 weeks before outdoor planting time. Transplant with care. Grows best in cool weather. Sow again midsummer for a fall harvest.

The packet says I should plant this in March - May.
