Fresh and green salad is an ideal addition to a summer lunch. Many summer residents grow it themselves to make a healthy snack during their vacation.
But it happens that the lettuce grows bitter.

Experts say that it is better to plant seedlings in partial shade, because if you place this plant in sunny places, there is a high probability of bitterness appearing in the leaves.
Watering is also important. If the weather is hot and dry, the procedure can be carried out daily. If cloudy days persist, you can water the lettuce every other day.
