Semi-free Romaine Lettuce Lettuce

[JENMOD]

Hi. Passing along this romaine lettuce tip that seems too good to be true. Turns out, you can re-grow it from the core in a jar with a little water you change daily. All you gotta do is get down to the heart, cut off the top of those pale green leaves, put in a jar with water. Takes about two days to see growth. I only began my "heart garden" last week, and shocked this works. Might take a month to get enough leaves to harvest from the cores I got in jars, but if means don't need to buy it after my starts "start", willing to wait. This also works on celery and bok choy. Crazy neat, huh?

Very cool...does the head ever grown the same as a earthen grown head?
