Last night our professor offered us lettuce, cabbage, and broccoli starts. I do not have a garden to plant them in but how could I turn down free plants???
I was conservative I only brought home three types of lettuce and some cabbage... that's not bad right?
Free plants ... Lettuce and Cabbage |
Went to Target and bought clear plastic shoe boxes and drilled six holes in the bottom of them thinking they might make good containers or trays for my lettuce. At $1.22 a piece it was worth a shot

Then I simply filled them up with potting soil and stuck in the lettuce and cabbage. I have a feeling the cabbage may get a little bit too big for its britches in the box, but it is worth a shot. Had a few extra cabbage plants so I put them out in the front with a *FREE* sign. I guess we'll see who else likes free plants
Anyone else want some free plants? |
. I'm hoping this works and I can have some fresh lettuce and salad all winter long. Anyone else have any luck growing lettuce this way?
