Can you plant a butt of lettuce and get more?
Yes, you can plant a butt of lettuce and get more. Lettuce is a leafy green that can be grown from seeds or from cuttings. To plant a butt of lettuce, simply cut off the bottom of a head of lettuce, about 2 inches (5 cm) from the bottom. Place the butt in a glass of water and let it sit for a few days until roots start to grow. Once the roots are about 1 inch (2.5 cm) long, you can plant the butt in soil. Keep the soil moist and the lettuce will start to grow new leaves.
