Lettuce

Lettuce
Growing lettuce is one of the first items I begin to grow in the early spring. There are so many varieties on the market today. If you like the mixes you buy in the grocery store consider a Mesculan mix. It is one of the easiest to grow and it is not hard to germinate.
After the seedling begin to look like a real plant it is time to move them. You can use
plastic containers, peat pot containers or any small container.
I try not to pick anything to big, since you will fill it up with your soil. After, you
transfer you seedlings make sure and give them a week does of fish emulsion.
It is also vital that you water from the bottom. Just fill a tray of any sort with
your fish emulsion liquid and
then put plant containers an to soak up the liquid.
.
In a few weeks you seedlings will begin to look like lettuce.
Just imagine the tasty salads you will be making.
Your salads will be full of flavor.
