Every kitchen garden, whether a full-size allotment or a handful of pots, should include lettuce.
Fast-maturing, undemanding and requiring very little space, they come in an astonishing variety of leaf shapes, colour and textures, offering an almost year-round salad source.
Lettuces can be sown in-between taller-growing veg and make a useful quick-growing filler after a main vegetable crop has been lifted.
Sow them sparingly every couple of weeks throughout the spring and summer months to ensure a steady supply.
