Growing lettuce?

Question

I want to grow lettuce in pots in my garden. any suggetions about what would grow well with lettuce in the same container? another vegetable or herb?

Answer 1

Any kind of lettuce will grow well in a big container but a great suggestion is instead of another vegetable, put a flowing plant in there for added pleasure. and if you do  ot decide to do that , add some jalapeno peppers that flower and grow a bit taller than your lettuce and are pretty handing down once after the flower falls off.

Answer 2

lettuce grows pretty big, are you sure you have enough room?  That must be a big container!  Let's see I hear potato's are easy to grow in containers, I have peppers in a pot and they are doing fine.  Maybe something that will grow out of the pot like cucumbers would work, if you place the containers near a fence they can just latch onto that and you will have a tasty cucumber and lettuce salad!  Rosemary doesn't really get too big, parsley would work well things like basil and cilantro get really big so I wouldn't recommend them.  good luck!

Answer 3

nothing lettuce will damp thigs off

Answer 4

I would suggest something that climbs so that it's not competing for ground space with the lettuce.  Peas, cucumbers, a flowering vine, you get the idea.  Just have a trellis or poles for the climbers to climb up behind the lettuce plants.
