Cabbage 🥬 vs. Lettuce 🥗: How I Grow Both Successfully in Small Bags 🪴

You will never know just how distinct plants can be until you plant them yourself and see how things unfold per crop.

Eating vegetables is delicious, but growing vegetables the wrong way will surely make you have a heart attack because those guys literally don't like bending their rules, give them what they want, and they will thrive; if not, the plants don't do well at all, or they can even die at some point.

This post shares how I successfully grew two distinct crops in sacks, detailing the activities I took to achieve the results shown in the picture.

Starting with the first guy lettuce ☘️

Lettuce ☘️ is a highly nutritious plant with a lifespan of 30-45 days. For some, I know it is so short for a plant with so many nutrients like this, but actually, most vegetables don't actually take long, some even 3 solid weeks, all they need before we can chop them to make meals.

It prefers morning sun, hence the reason why it was placed in the direction where the 🌞 sun rises, and too much heat is one thing to look out for, cause it makes the lettuce 🥗bitter.

Watering was done every morning, and it only needed a small amount of water, not a pool. The soil just needs to be wet, and that's all.

You can start harvesting once maturity is reached, and you can start that by harvesting the outer layer and allowing the inner layer to continue to grow.

Then to cabbage 🥬

I know the two are both vegetables, but just as their build is different, so also is their method of germination, most especially when you want to grow them in sacks.

Cabbage 🥬 has a longer lifespan than lettuce that's about 70-90 days that's one of the reasons why I said they are actually distinct, and that's just the first reason others are, it needs full sunlight at least 6 hours a day, deep watering at least 3 times a week though it should not make the farm or the sack in this case to become waterlogged, and it also needs a lot of space for the head to fully grow.

Having good knowledge of the two is the reason behind my success; that's why I was able to grow the two in sacks, which isn't an ideal environment, and I was still able to get the best result.

The hybrid environment is meant to have all the needs of the plant and then you are good to go 😁 with every other thing.
