Choosing a Site for Planting Lettuce

In fact, lettuce can grow well no matter where it is planted. However, if you want to eat fresh lettuce throughout the summer and autumn, it is recommended that you grow lettuce at home.

How to sow lettuce

Prepare a small tray, fill it with soil, and water it thoroughly, or directly prepare some media, such as perlite, vermiculite, etc., which will be more conducive to seed germination. Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the tray. No need to cover with soil. Keep it moist.

Or you can plant the seeds directly, sprinkle the seeds evenly in the container, be careful not to gather them together, and gently press the seeds into the soil with your fingers.

Place the container in a sunny location. If the humidity is not enough, water it frequently or cover it with plastic film to keep it moist.

Ok, all that’s left is to wait for the lettuce to grow slowly. It will take about a few weeks for it to grow and you can just pick it and eat it.
