Lettuce is one of the easiest plants to grow from seed, and it’s also one of the most versatile!

You can grow lettuce in almost any season, but it makes a great addition to your garden in spring and in summer.

Lettuce is a cool-seeded vegetable, so you can plant it directly into the ground once the soil has warmed up in your area.

To get started, go shopping online or your local nursery for seeds. There are lots to choose from – I recommend buying a few different varieties to see what works best in your climate.

If you’re planting outside, consider trying arugula as well – it germinates quickly and grows well even when the temperature heats up.

Make sure that you have plenty of good soil with compost mixed in and then space out your seeds according to the instructions on the packet.

Give them a good soaking but make sure not to overdo it if it’s cold – if they become too wet, they might rot before they germinate.

Then keep an eye on them, monitor for pests, and in no time you’ll be adding freshly harvested lettuce to your salads.
