You can have fresh salad greens year round by growing lettuce indoors. If you give lettuce what it needs, you can grow baby greens that will rival store- bought salad greens. Be aware that lettuce has different needs than microgreens. Since baby lettuce has a long tap root, you will need at least four inches of soil depth to have room to grow. Any container that is deep enough works well. Just be sure that the container or pot has drainage holes. Besides flower pots, recycled containers such as plastic clam shells that greens are often sold in; plastic milk or juice jugs or large yogurt containers are ideal for growing lettuce. A sterilized seed potting mix for indoor growing is your best bet for growing media. If you are using a commercial potting mix, add 1/4 cup of kelp meal, and 1/3 cup of worm castings or compost per gallon of potting mix to provide necessary micronutrients. Young lettuce needs a bright grow light or a very sunny window. The grow light should be placed about 4above the top of the leaves. If you don’t have grow lights, you can put the plants near the sunniest window you have and place aluminum foil in front of them to reflect the natural light and increase its effectiveness. If you notice the leaves of your baby plants stretching and becoming spindly, this is an indication that they need more light. Baby lettuce leaves require nitrogen and trace minerals for fast growth. Sweet, tender baby lettuce leaves must grow fast to maintain their good qualities. Liquid kelp fertilizer, worm castings or compost tea can ensure fast growth. Plan to feed your baby lettuce with liquid fertilizer after each harvest. You can expect three harvests of baby lettuce from each planting, about three to four weeks apart. When you are finished harvesting your lettuce, dump the soil in the compost, and wash and sanitize the container. Then replant with fresh soil. Since your container can be harvested every 3 to 4 weeks, consider staggering your plantings. If you plant a new container every week, for a month, and give the lettuce what it needs to thrive, you’ll have a continual supply of lettuce over the winter. Butterhead and loose-leaf lettuce varieties are the best choice to grow in containers. They mature faster than romaine and iceberg types, and make fast growth early on. Look for lettuce varieties that mature in 45 to 55 days. Or buy a mix of lettuce seed specifically chosen for baby leaf production. You can find seed in the specialty seed catalogs that cater to market gardeners. Many of these catalogs carry fast maturing lettuce with interesting leaf colors and shapes specifically for baby leaf production. Annie’s Heirloom Seeds or Baker Creek are two reliable sources. After four weeks your baby greens should be ready to harvest. The leaves will be three to four inches high. Using scissors, cut them off 1/2 inch above the soil surface. Don’t hesitate to try growing lettuce at home. Lettuce seed is inexpensive. Soil is cheap. The investment in a grow-light set up will pay for itself over time. Don’t be afraid to try spinach, kale and other greens as well. Here’s hoping all your times are good times in 2020! We appreciate your patronage!
