Lettuce is super easy to grow and you can grow it for free with the core of any type of lettuce: romaine, green leaf, iceberg. All you do is cut off the core and stick it in the ground! Water it and voila! Lettuce ready to cut and eat!
That’s how you grow lettuce for free!
That’s all there is to it!
- Cut off the core.
- Plant the core
- Cover it up
- Water it
- Watch it grow!

No way! I never thought you could grow lettuce like this! I just may have to try it. We do plan on spending some time in the garden this weekend. So cool! I love your step by step instructions with photos!❤️
That’s pretty awesome! I’m going to have to do this… I’m about to fill my green stalks and would love to grow lettuce this year.
I’ve grown lettuce from seed, but I’ve never tried this! Great idea.
I’ve always put my lettuce in water and watched it grow but it never amounted to much. I didn’t realize I was missing the critical step of putting it in the ground! I’m definitely going to try it this spring!
This is such a cool tip! Does it need to be organic lettuce? And specifically romaine or is that just your preference?
I’m so glad you asked! No, it doesn’t have to be organic and any type of lettuce. I’m trying to make my posts shorter and not ramble so much but I can’t believe I didn’t mention those things.
No it doesn’t matter if it’s organic or not. Some people are really into organic seeds so maybe they’d want the lettuce heads to be organic too so that’s why I said that. And it can be any type of lettuce. I actually prefer green leaf cause it grows bigger and is a bit sweeter. So I’m really glad you said something. I’m going to change it in my post right now! Thanks so much!
