Growing lettuce is easy and one of my favorite fall veggies. It is good for you, easy to grow and keeps producing through the winter. That’s one thing about living in Houston, summer is really when you want to eat salads, but sadly it is too hot to grow here. Lettuce prefers cool weather. So with that, I’ve planted an entire bed of Bibb, Romaine and Mesclun lettuce plants that I purchased from Wabash’s Feed Store in October. They had a superb selection. I also sprinkled some speckled lettuce seeds and baby carrot seeds in between the rows. I planted sugar snap peas on the edge where the vertical trellis is. Most of the seeds were from Botanical Interests.
