Lettuces vary from 10cm (4in) to over 30cm (12in) in spread. The cos types are about 25cm (10in) tall, others about 15cm (6in) high. Lettuces are primarily used as salad vegetables, but outer and older leaves may also be cooked or used in soups.

Lettuces are cool-season crops, growing best at 10 - 20 degrees celsius (50 - ...

I Think I'm in Love with Frisby

Advantages: Fresh all the year round
Disadvantages: You may have to get your fingers dirty

...There is a lettuce for every location, in every season. Lettuce will grow in conventional garden soil. Aspen states the obvious. Lettuce will also grow in a gro-bag, or in a pot, on any soil-based or soil-less compost. Lettuce will grow in a tub on the patio, in a pot by the back door, in a window-box, on a balcony, on a roof-garden, or even on the lavvie window-sill. If you have none of these, you are an alien, and don’t deserve lettuce. Cos ...
...are. Want to grow lettuce out of season? Got a bright windowsill? Try Little Gem (a small Cos variety) at any time of year. Use young. The small young leaves are the tastiest anyway, and they may not heart in the winter months. Who cares? Use the young leaves and sow some more. It’s gotta be better than the limp, chemically-preserved supermarket pre-washed, bagged leaves. Fancy a bit of colour? The red-tinged Lolla Rosso which you pay premium prices ...

let me tell you of my lettuce

Lettuce let me brag and be big headed I usually do not buy a single lettuce from the shop after May. I usually successfully grow more than ample even giving some away. Let me not mislead you my garden is not massive. I think it is wonderful others might not. T hey might come and cut my meadow, spray it with pesticide grow things in straight lines. Not my kind of gardening. Anyway back to lettuce I sowed some lettuce seeds in the greenhouse last ...

Go on, grow some greens.

Advantages: Fresh salad leaves for 6 months.
Disadvantages: None

spicy leaves with a mix of red and green colours. Green salad leaves contain some vitamin c, iron and zinc which we all need as part of a healthy diet and virtually no calories so we can eat as much as we like so long as we go light on the dressings! One bowl full of leaves counts as one of the five recommended portions of fruit and veg although I'm not sure I eat quite that much in one sitting. Catalogne is a large, brilliant green, oak leaf shaped lettuce with a delicate, nutty taste. Cocarde is a red oak leaf shaped lettuce with a sweet taste. Lollo Rossa has a red frilly leaf which is sweet and slightly mustardy. Grand Rapids is light green, wide leafed with frilly curled edges, with a mild, sweet crisp taste. Rossa di Trento has broad green leaves fringed with red. It is a crisp and sweet lettuce. Red Salad Bowl has a red ...
