What’s great about garden lettuce is that it tastes better and is more nutritious compared to supermarket brands. It grows quickly, with only Romaine and Crisphead lettuce growing at a longer rate. Lettuce is best when harvested just before full maturity and in the morning when the leaves have been exposed to the sun. With the popularity of lettuce and how easy it is to grow, it has become the main choice for most farmers. It’s not hard to see why it is at the top of the 10 easiest farm crops to grow.
