I have had a garden off and on for over 20 years but one thing I have never grown until this year is lettuce. Don’t ask me why I have never tried growing lettuce because I don’t have an answer for you. I can say that I will be growing lettuce from now on because store bought lettuce cannot compare.
Have you been under the impression like I have that lettuce has no taste? It’s just not true. Fresh lettuce has a great taste and you can eat it as you garden if you’d like. I can have a salad as I pick through the garden and it is good for me, tastes great and is safe.
If you live somewhere where you don’t have a place to garden, try putting lettuce, tomatoes, spinach and other vegetables you like in a pot, basket or raised bed. You can do this on a balcony, some ledges and stoops. Another thing you might try is group gardening. I’ve done this before with people who wanted to garden but didn’t have the space. We all pitched in and shared the work as well as the harvest. No matter how you do it, you can garden.
