I have been trying to grow lettuce indoors all year and have had no luck. I have tried from both seed and from the ends. The seeds ended up very long and stringy, even though I had them right next to a window. When I thinned them out, they all died.
When I try from the ends of other heads, I can usually get them to start in water. I will wait until there are decent little leaves growing and then plant in a container. I bury the old part and leave the new growth above the soil. It will not grow once it goes in the dirt, however. They will just rot and die.
Is there something I am doing wrong? I keep them on my back porch which has the best sunlight in the house, with two walls being mostly windows.
