We rarely grow lettuce at home as we much preferred kale varieties but these colorful ones were hard to resist.
The red or four seasoned lettuce will spruce up any salads presentation.
Most of the seeds germinated within 3 days.
Our favorite way is to sow on moist kitchen tissues and cling wrapped the container to maintain a high moisture level.
When these seedlings were less than a month old, there was no hint of red on the leaves.
A hint of its colorful hues at first-month-old.
In Kratky (non-circulating hydroponic), their roots mass is dense but not massive.
Vivid red and other colors at 2nd month.
The leaves can be harvested younger than 2 months old.
We observed that it can be a cut and grow plant, and the vivid colors come after the greener leaves were harvested.
The taste and texture of these leaves are “lettuce”.
