Historical Significance: Romaine lettuce has a rich history that stretches back thousands of years. Originally cultivated by the ancient Egyptians, Romaine was depicted in their bas-reliefs dating back to the third millennium BC. The name "Romaine" comes from the papal gardens in Rome, while "Cos" (another name for Romaine) refers to the Greek island of Kos, where this lettuce type has been cultivated for centuries. Syrian gardeners are credited with selectively breeding Romaine to produce thick ribs and a spoon-like shape, which also served as a utensil in their traditional cuisine. Planting & Growing Tips: Direct Sow: Plant seeds 1/4 inch deep in well-drained soil. Space the plants about 6-8 inches apart for optimal growth. Sunlight: Romaine lettuce thrives in full sun but can tolerate some partial shade in warmer climates. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Lettuce prefers cool, moist conditions. Harvesting: Harvest leaves when they reach a desirable size, or pick the entire head once it reaches 12 inches tall.
