Lettuce?

queenpig

Hi, sorry to sound dumb here but I bought a lettuce ( looks like rocket) anyway gets it home to put in the fridge and its still got its roots attached in soil? . You know kind od like when you buy plants for your garden lol
What do I do with it do I plant it somewhere/somehow, or do i cut the roots off, I'm sorry to sound so stupid.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Queenpig....don't worry, it's just sold like that because it will last longer, that's all.

Stick it somewhere light but cool (not the fridge though!) and just break off what you want to eat, as and when you want it. If it's a good one and lasts for a few days, I usually chuck a bit of water on it to help it along!

cheers

They do sell growing salad sometimes, I presume it's in a pot?
Put it on your windowsill on a saucer and just pick leaves as you need them. I like this as I'm often the only one who's gonna eat salad so it's better to be able to pick just what you need from the garden or whatever.

I don't want to be rude, but are you sure it's lettuce? Could it be watercress or corn salad also called lamb's lettuce?

Just trying to think of green salad stuff that often has roots on
