Did you know that lettuce is thought to be a selected variety of Lactuca serriola, a
wild lettuce found throughout Europe, Asia, and North Africa? It is
believed to have been first cultivated in Egypt but was also a favorite
amongst the ancient Greeks.
It has taken about a month but finally the barcarolle lettuce(a variety of romaine) in my Earthbox is ready for the table. It should be great with some freshly grated Parmesan and crunchy croutons.
