Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is grown as a leafy vegetable. It was first cultivated by the ancient Egyptians. Lettuce grows best in full sun in loose, nitrogen-rich soils with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8. Partial shade is important when growing lettuce during the warm season -- it keeps the lettuce from bolting (producing flowers and seeds).
