Lettuce is a fast growing relatively simple salad green to grow. It's best to sow seeds into pots or punnet, cover with 3mm of soil and keep moist until germinated. Once your seedlings are 5cm high you can transplant them into a full sun or part shade position. Choose a position that is relatively fertile to ensure you get a constant harvest over a long period.
