Want to celebrate Earth Day (Sunday) with your kids? What about…
Growing lettuce is so easy & simple and you get rewarded fresh food pretty quickly! Instant gratification seems to be a need of the kids I know.
You can either keep your lettuce small (above), which would then be called microgreens. Cut them at the very bottom every few days. You get more intense flavor this way.
Or allow to grow larger, as we’ve done with our romaine (Cinnamaron variety) below.
This is the first year I’ve tried micro-greens and they are tasty! You start these from regular seed but are just harvesting a lot more early & frequently.
And perhaps throw in an extra veggie besides the lettuce? I’m trying to grow cucumber (Green Apple variety) upside down this year – and it appears to be working!
ENJOY your weekend outside with family, friends, and nature!
Love,
Jess
