I was so excited when I saw the pin about growing lettuce
from the bottom of a head of lettuce. I
cut mine off and stuck it in a cup of water just like the pin said. It slowly started to sprout new leaves.
I went to by a pot and soil since it is getting cold
outside. I planted it and it continued to
grow. I was so excited because I would
never have to buy lettuce again. Or so I
thought.
When the leaves were about two inches long, it suddenly
started to shrivel up. Nothing I did helped
it. I watered more. I watered less. I used compost. I did everything I could think of, but
nothing mattered.
It completely shriveled up and decomposed. It’s now part of the dirt in the flower
pot. There isn’t even anything left to
take a picture of. It’s just dirt now.
I had such high hopes for this pin. I was going to grow my own food and save
money. My dreams of being a farmer have
ended. I will just have to go to the
grocery store to by vegetables just like everybody else.
