Salad at home on the windowsill
I decided to plant lettuce in plastic jars, tell me whether it’s better to take seeds or buy bushes with roots in the store and plant them?

I always buy the most ordinary seeds in bags. I plant parsley, dill and lettuce and place them on the windowsill on the sunny side. After about 3-4 weeks, the first shoots begin to appear.
cool))) and how long before you can harvest the first harvest?? I've never tried it before
Yes, the bushes will indeed grow faster. But it is important not to forget to water regularly. Although, nowadays there are automatic watering systems, for example AquaDusya https://lesservice.by/
Does it matter where to plant?
I still have foam stands from the air conditioner))
They will be comfortable for me and look nice on the windowsill. And it’s interesting whether it makes a difference where lettuce sprouts or not.
The container is actually not that important when planting lettuce. The main thing is that there is enough land and light. Still, lettuce is a very light-loving plant. As for what to plant... I’ve never seen bushes for sale, so I only planted them with seeds.
bushes faster
I often plant watercress in early spring.There is no more unpretentious and fast-growing lettuce, but it is very small and suitable as a seasoning. It can be grown not even in the ground, but on a simple paper napkin.

Bushes with roots are better. If you sow seeds, you need to wait until the rosette of the plant is formed, and this is time. If there is insufficient lighting, the seedlings may stretch out, and the bushes will simply grow new leaves.
What types of lettuce are best to take in this case? I know that not every variety can produce good shoots in an apartment...
