I recently finished growing romaine lettuce in containers, starting from seed—and the results were even better than expected. The plants grew strong, and the “cut and come again” method worked like a charm. One week after the first harvest, the leaves had already bounced back for another round.
We documented the entire process and created a detailed video guide for anyone interested in growing their own:
So far I've always grown butterhead lettuce, but I planted the last of those seeds a couple of days ago, so when I grow autumn harvest lettuce later in the year maybe I'll try romain.
I do Celtic, fantasy, folk and shanty singing at Renaissance faires, fantasy festivals, pirate campouts, and other events in OR and WA, USA.
