Photo of a raised garden bed containing three vibrant green butter lettuce plants. They about 10 inches in diameter — maybe more! Above the lettuce, there is a clump of succulent plants with thick, fleshy green leaves. The photo is taken from a perspective above the plants, with my sneakers visible at the bottom edge.

These are heads of butter lettuce that grew after I put grocery store lettuce in the dirt — the kind of lettuce you buy that still has a tiny root ball.
These had only a couple of leaves when I started, and I'm amazed how well they're doing! (Toes at bottom for scale.)
And I'm a lazy gardener. I don't fertilize or anything like that. We've just had some rain and some sun, and now they're living their best lives.
