Grow your own salad greens in your backyard! Most lettuces are a good source of fiber and Vitamin A; the darker green lettuces, like Romaine, being a better source than pale leaf lettuces. And the best part is, lettuce is low in calories! 

These days, Php100 should buy you about 3 small bunches of lettuce. But for a fraction of that amount, you can get yourself an entire packet of seeds that will yield you over a hundred plants that you can harvest from your own backyard! There are many advantages to growing your salad lettuce yourself.

     - - You will always have a fresh supply when you need some.
 -  You are sure they were grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
 -  When grown organically, you are assured that your lettuce is more nutritious and more flavorful.
 -   The pleasure of harvesting vegetables you grew yourself is simply indescribable! 

Be sure to grown your lettuce in organically-enriched Enrico Soil-less Potting Mix to ensure quick and healthy growth. For maximum germination, sow seeds in Homegrown seed-starting mix first then transfer the seedlings into pots filled with Enrico.

Because of the high moisture content of lettuce, it does not freeze well so be sure to harvest just the right amount for your salad. If there is some leftover, however, lettuce should be placed in the refrigerator. It should keep for 2-5 days in the refrigerator.
