[Lettuce] Gain full access to this premium Gardening Guide—and an entire Library of food gardening advice—with a [Charter Gold Membership in Food Gardening Network!]( Dear Garden Grower, If you aren’t sure how much of a green thumb you have, try growing lettuce. It’s such an easy-growing vegetable that astronauts grew a variety of Romaine lettuce on the International Space Station! So whether it’s in a raised bed, on your balcony, or in your kitchen, you can grow lettuce! And in case you’re wondering where to begin, check out the new Leafy Lettuce Gardening Guide. The Gardening Guide gives you everything you need to know about growing this fresh and leafy delight, including the different kinds of lettuce, where to grow lettuce, and how to harvest it. You’ll see in-depth profiles on eight varieties of lettuce, from one of my favorites, Buttercrunch, to the fast-growing Vivian lettuce, which is a Romaine with the silky texture of a butterhead! [Lettuce] Of course, we have to do something with all that lettuce, so we have loads of easy-to-make recipes featuring your fresh-from-the-garden lettuce. Hint: If you’ve never tried grilled lettuce, you need to check out the Grilled Garden Romaine recipe! It’s the side dish no one expects, but everyone loves! I should also mention that, like most vegetables, lettuce is packed with nutrients. But there’s one thing you may not know. Lettuce has a compound called lactucarium that has relaxing and sleep-inducing properties! Not only does it taste great; it helps you relax! Be sure to read Nutrition Facts about Lettuce and Home Remedies and Health Benefits of Lettuce to learn more. Then take a look through the Leafy Lettuce Gardening Guide to learn more about enjoying this delicious, hardy vegetable!

This question comes up for a lot of gardeners, and it’s quite understandable. If you have a shorter growing season, you have to start a lot of your vegetables indoors and transplant them. Lettuce, however, is a bit unique in that you don’t always have to wait for it to mature before you harvest it. Many varieties of lettuce will continue to grow even after you harvest leaves. Plus, lettuce seeds can germinate in temperatures as low as 40 degrees and seedlings can emerge in about a week. What about cuttings? That answer is a bit complicated. The short version is that yes, you can grow a new head of lettuce from harvested heads. There’s a big “But” in there, though. You can check out the details in Growing Lettuce from Seeds, Seedlings, or Cuttings in the Leafy Lettuce Gardening Guide, which is yours when you join The Food Gardening Network. Be sure to explore the Cimarron lettuce while you’re there. It’s a truly unusual lettuce! Light & Lovely One of my favorite sections in our magazines and Gardening Guides is the recipes. There’s almost always something unique and unexpected. Not to mention tasty! This one may surprise you, though, because it takes advantage of all the leftover lettuce in a most unusual way. The Light & Lovely Lettuce Soup is a simple, satisfying way to turn those extra lettuce leaves and ribs into a delicious new dish. Best of all, it’s open to experimentation, so you could add in bacon, cream, broth, other greens, or different spices. And while you’re checking out recipes, don’t miss the Garlic Garden Lettuce Stir Fry! You know with five cloves of garlic it has to be good! It’s all in the Leafy Lettuce Gardening Guide, which is yours when you join The Food Gardening Network. [Food Gardening Network Charter Gold Membership Special Offer—Just $10 for an Entire Year!
