Date: April 20, 2006 11:50PM I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure that lettuce is grown in cold weather so if you want to grow it in the summer it needs to be shady and it will grow in the spring through fall as well I think. Some kinds may also grow in the winter, (I'm not sure if cabbage is concidered a type of lettuce)
So no I don't think you could grow it in the house it's too warm. Re: greens in my kitchen

Hydroponic greenhouse people do it, so you could check that stuff out. Without really strong light you will only grow leggy and spindly crops. Do let us know though how it works!
