Welcome back to another episode of Plants. You can't kill this one. You have to try Spring Mix Lettuce. Start with just one packet of seed, rake in some compost, and then spread your seeds about 3 inches apart using this little ruler. Water the seeds every single day for about two weeks and you're going to get these tiny sprouts. Keep watering every few days, and in 25 days you can start cutting. Every single plant is going to give you two to three harvests and you will have so, so much lettuce that you don't know what to do with it. The harvest literally won't stop and you will be skipping past grocery store lettuce for months on end. Get our Spring Mix Lettuce seeds for free in the caption.
