One head of red leaf lettuce is $3.29 at Giant. My 250 count seed packet was $3.
My kids will tear pieces off to eat when they’re running around outside just because it’s there, and I know that seed packet isn’t going to waste. I may not pick them as large as the store, but I pick them when my family needs to eat. For 1¢ a head, and for something that grows ANYWHERE, I am thrilled.
Plant them in the early spring, keep planting under your tall plants in the summer, and if anyone is giving Justin hints about my birthday gift this year… a cold frame for winter lettuce would be great 😂
